Connect with international candidates interested in working in Canada. Discover potential matches for your vacancies, and understand the immigration options, requirements and estimated timelines before you make a hiring decision.
Each card says where it stands today. Nothing here is described as open before it is.
Register your organization and advertise a vacancy, saying whether you would consider someone from abroad and what support you could offer. A listing is labelled registered, and verified only after checks we write down.
Post a jobSee people who chose to be seen, by occupation group and province, with no name and no contact details. Nothing is shown in a province until our lawyers have confirmed its recruitment rules, which is every province today; your own listings report their views and clicks either way.
How talent discovery worksAnswer plain questions about your company, the role and the person, and see which work permit routes fit, which need a labour market impact assessment, which are exempt from one, and what each would require of you as the employer.
Assess a candidateThe government fees each route charges and who pays them, and the processing times IRCC publishes as its own service standard, with the day we read each figure. Estimates for a complete application, never a promise about yours.
See what an assessment coversAsk to be introduced to someone you would like to meet, and arrange an interview once they accept. The candidate decides, can decline without a reason, and is never charged. Introductions are closed in every province today.
What opens, and whenWhat to do first, which documents to gather, and every permit date and condition in one tracker. Take the plan to your own counsel, run the steps yourself, or ask our firm: none of those is a condition of the others.
Open the compliance trackerThey are different jobs, so they have different starting points. Both are free to begin.

What each hire would need (a labour market impact assessment or an exemption, and which wage stream), the Express Entry changes that affect your offers, and every permit date in your tracker.
How the Marketplace works · Find talent on Global Compass Corporate
For a person you are considering, whether you found them here or already know them, an assessment answers the questions a hiring decision actually turns on.
An assessment is prepared automatically from your answers, against rules our lawyers approve, and a lawyer reviews anything unusual before it reaches you. That is not the same as individualized legal advice about your company and your candidate, and it is not a substitute for it.
Processing times are the service standards the government publishes for a complete application, read on the date shown beside them. They are estimates, not guarantees, and only the government decides.
You are never required to retain a Global Compass lawyer. Take the assessment to your own counsel, handle the steps you are comfortable with yourself, or ask our firm to act: the report is yours either way.
Each has its own requirements, evidence and obligations. An assessment points you at the ones that fit; these explain them.
