1.2 A Practitioner’s Guide to the Recruitment Cycle: The Legal Considerations of Recruiting Temporary Workers

Monday, August 18, 9:00 – 10:30

Canada is facing its greatest labour shortage in over 30 years. As a result, employers are bringing foreign workers to Canada to fill the gap, and are facing a spectrum of immigration, employment and tax issues in the process. Lawyers need to be prepared to deal with these multiple areas of jurisdiction.

Moderator Howard Greenberg will join an immigration lawyer, a taxation lawyer and an employment lawyer to discuss the recruitment cycle—from pre-contractual considerations to immigration documentation.

Moderator:
Howard Greenberg, Greenberg Turner (Toronto)

Speakers:
David Corry, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP (Calgary)
Isabelle Dongier, Fasken Martineau Dumoulin LLP (Montreal)
Charles Marquette, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (Montreal)
Catherine Sas, Q.C., Immigration Law Centre (Vancouver)
