What happens after you send a request

  1. Tell us the job

    The work, the pay, how many people, where and when.

  2. We agree the terms

    Our fee, and whether the workers are hired by you directly or work through us on a temporary assignment.

  3. We find people

    We interview them, check references with their permission, and check their documents to work in Canada. You still check those documents yourself when you hire.

  4. You choose

    You meet the people we put forward and decide who starts. We check in after the first weeks.

Hiring workers from outside Canada

Bringing in temporary foreign workers involves federal approval and Nova Scotia's own employer registration. Nova Scotia also counts anyone working here on a work permit as a foreign worker, even if they already live in the province, and recruiting them takes a provincial recruiter licence. We do not offer foreign worker recruitment at this time. If you need it, ask us and we can send you the government's own pages on it. Immigration services for the workers we place are handled by our lawyer.

Request workers

Tell us what you need and we will call you back within two business days to talk it through. Fields marked * are required.

Ask for the skills, licences and experience the job needs. We can't act on a request based on age, sex, origin or any other ground protected by the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.
