Local or international recruitment?We choose in your interest, not ours.
We search locally first, across Canada. We only turn to international recruitment when the position cannot be filled here.
Per local candidate placed. No percentage of salary.
Trial period before any invoicing.
Replacement guarantee, at no charge.
Programs that do not depend on the cap applying in your region.
That empty workstation is costing you contracts.
If you are like most of the companies we work with, you have already been through this:
- You were promised foreign workers who never arrived.
- Or who arrived months too late, once the order was already lost.
- A file was refused over an NOC code or a poorly prepared document.
- Some permits are no longer renewable since the 2024 restrictions.
- You were told your region or your sector left you no options.
- You paid fees for support that produced no result.
The problem is almost never the job posting. It is the route chosen at the start, and a misdirected international file costs months before anyone notices.
Which route applies to your situation?
Four starting points. The real fee and timeline appear right away, with no form to fill in.
Local recruitment
Candidates already established in Canada: citizens, permanent residents or open work permit holders. No immigration delay, wherever your company sits in the country.
- Two-week trial period
- Three-month replacement guarantee, at no charge
- Invoiced after the trial period
- No fee if no candidate is placed
International Experience Canada
Two categories, no LMIA. These programs do not depend on the foreign worker cap that applies to your workplace.
- Estimated timeline of three to four months
- No LMIA required
- Candidate aged 18 to 35
- Government fees apply according to the case
Qualified international programs
Depending on the candidate's nationality and your sector, several agreements open a route without an LMIA. The Canada-Colombia agreement is one example among others; we determine which one applies to your file.
- Search, pre-selection and reference checks
- Identification of the applicable agreement
- Immigration file preparation
- Estimated timeline of three to four months
Legal diagnostic
The worker is identified. What remains is determining which route applies to their status, your sector and your region.
- Analysis of the worker's current status
- Verification of your company's eligibility
- Determination of the applicable program
- File prepared under the supervision of Me Carreras Rios
The restrictions are not the same for everyone
The cap on temporary foreign workers varies with your region, your sector and the wage level of the position. Some employers are exempt entirely, others benefit from a raised cap in rural areas, and certain urban zones face tighter limits. Several sectors are not capped at all.
We verify what applies to your workplace before recommending a route. And when the cap blocks you, the programs without an LMIA do not depend on it.

Recruitment and support according to the applicable program and the employer’s needs. Final cost depends on your situation, the required services, applicable government fees and the number of candidates involved.
Get your exact quoteGovernment fees
Government fees may apply depending on the program and the steps required: employer compliance, work permit, candidate biometrics, and other fees required by the authorities.
These fees are set by the competent authorities, vary with the case, and never constitute revenue for Immigraffaires.
If no candidate is placed
We are paid on success.
Candidate nationality
Nationality can open or limit access to certain international mobility programs, including youth exchange programs and some international agreements.
Job category
The category and characteristics of the position help determine which programs and streams may apply to the hiring.
Work location
The work location can affect the regional rules, measures or restrictions that apply to the case.
Offered salary
The salary offered can affect the applicable stream and certain requirements or restrictions tied to the hiring.
Every case is different
Eligibility for certain programs, the steps required and the applicable costs depend on several factors specific to your hiring, subject to the government criteria in force.
Before any steps are taken, you receive a detailed service offer tailored to your case. You can review the proposed services, applicable fees and estimated costs before making any commitment. Get your exact quote
What the candidate pays, with us and elsewhere
These $1,800 cover the lawyer's fees for the work permit and biometrics. No placement fee is ever charged to the candidate: selection is based on skills, never on financial capacity.
The trades we actually fill
Hover over a trade to see the corresponding workstation.
Diplomas, certifications, references and work authorization status are checked before a candidate is presented to you. You also receive what still needs to be validated.
A trade missing from this list? We also recruit outside these profiles, depending on the available pool.
Request a profile for your positionHow a mandate unfolds
Four steps. The first decides whether the other three take place.
Diagnosing the need
The real position, the production pace, the essential skills, the disqualifying criteria, and your production and recruitment challenges. You know your company; we translate that need into realistic recruitment criteria.
Viability study
Does the wage match the regional market? Does a candidate pool exist? Is the mobility you expect realistic? Does your urgency match immigration timelines? An impossible mandate is paused or closed.
Search and presentation
Local search first, across Canada. Phone screening, interview, verification of diplomas, certifications and references. You receive an honest portrait of every candidate, including what still needs validating.
Immigration and arrival
If the international route applies, our legal team prepares the file and follows it through to the decision. Then come arrival, settlement and follow-up after the start date. French-language training is a separate mandate, which we can coordinate.
Why small and mid-sized businesses trust us
Expertise developed since 2018, with one simple rule: your interest before our commission.
Local first, international next
We search the Canadian pool first, wherever your company is located, and only turn to international recruitment when the local market does not answer. Never the reverse, and no commission distorts the recommendation.
Legal supervision included
Me Idalmis Carreras Rios oversees the files: status analysis, program selection, document validation, and communications with Service Canada, the MIFI and IRCC. At no additional fee.
Candidates verified, not just found
Diplomas, certifications, references, work authorization status and real mobility are checked before presentation. You also receive what still needs validating.
Fixed fees and ongoing follow-up
No percentage of salary, no hidden charges. Post-hire follow-up is part of the mandate. French-language training and cultural adaptation are offered separately, through our specialized entity.
What we turn down
We are paid on placement. That obliges us to close mandates that cannot succeed, and to tell you early.
- A wage clearly below the regional market
- A candidate pool that does not exist for this profile
- An urgency incompatible with immigration timelines
- Criteria that change with every presentation
- Working conditions unrealistic for the position
- A mandate given to several agencies without transparency
A paused mandate is not invoiced. We would rather decline a search than collect on work that produces nothing.
What can be verified
Temporary foreign worker recruitment agency, registered with the CNESST.
Me Idalmis Carreras Rios, member of the Barreau du Québec.
Before any invoicing.
Replacement at no charge.
From file submission to arrival.
Granting a work permit or a visa rests solely with the Canadian authorities. We prepare a complete and compliant file and follow it through. We do not guarantee their decision, and no agency can.
I am not a by-the-minute lawyer. My role is to support small businesses ethically and legally.
Barreau du Québec, member no. 314602-2
Five areas, commissioned separately or together
Most employers start with just one. Each page states what is included, what is not, and on what terms.
We do not forward résumés. We assess candidates.
Every person we present has cleared two separate stages: a screen that rules out what cannot work, then a technical assessment by trade module, with concrete examples required.
It is what answers the sentence we hear most often: “I already tried an agency, they sent me anyone at all”.
See how we assess- Five deal breakers checked before anything else
- Nine technical modules, one per trade family
- A concrete example required for every skill claimed
- A report with the gaps written down, not only the strengths
- No candidate with uncertain status presented without legal validation
Let's talk about the position you cannot fill.
Twenty minutes is enough to know whether the local market can answer, and if not, which route applies to your company.
Before you talk to us, read up
Three guides describe the whole international hiring process, step by step: which routes exist, how to build the file, how to submit it. The first one downloads with nothing asked in return.
Guides are in English. Detailed contents are listed on the page.
Two ways to reach us
Both lead to the same place: someone who knows your file.
