Ontario Employer Job Offer Program Q&A

Q: Employer guarantees have such low requirements for applicants, what are the difficulties in applying?

A: Employer guarantees are not very demanding for applicants, but the requirements for employers are very strict. Not every employer is qualified to hire overseas people.

Also, it is demanding for recruitment efforts and application preparation.

Q: How long does it take for the entire employer’s guaranteed to be processed?

A: Employer’s guarantee includes two steps: provincial and federal immigration. The provincial time is 3 months.
