Delays and refusals of work permits are major concerns for employers with temporary foreign workers on their teams. They have very real impacts: prolonged vacancies, disruption to teams, loss of efficiency and productivity, and loss of qualified candidates.
Here's how to significantly reduce the risk of delays and secure your application process.
1. Understand the context thoroughly before you begin.
Each permit is based on a specific framework: job type, salary level, place of work, worker's country of origin, applicable program, quotas in force, etc.
Starting without prior validation often leads to errors that are difficult or even impossible to correct.
👉 Key takeaway: Analyze the job requirements, candidate profile, and parameters applicable to your organization in advance to ensure that your application meets the criteria of the program to which you are applying.
2. Prepare a complete and compliant file from the outset
Incomplete or inconsistent files cause most delays and may lead to a refusal. A missing document, inconsistent or incorrect information, or an administrative error can slow down or even block the entire process.
A solid case is based on:
- clear and up-to-date documents;
- consistent information between the employer and the employee;
- strict compliance with the requirements of the chosen program.
👉 Key takeaway: It's better to invest time at the beginning than to lose several weeks later.
3. Anticipating delays in HR planning
Processing times vary depending on several factors: time of year, volume of applications, program used, and the applicant's country of origin. Underestimating these factors disrupts the organization: an employee already in post may be forced to temporarily interrupt their work, which directly affects the company's operations and efficiency.
👉 Key takeaway: Incorporate immigration timelines into your HR planning to ensure business continuity.
4. Surround yourself with specialized support
Applying for a work permit is part of an overall process: your commitment is not limited to hiring an employee.
Being supported by experts allows you to:
- Secure the process;
- Save valuable time;
- Provide a positive experience for both parties.
👉 In summary: Tailored support makes the difference between smooth sailing and complications.
