What size or age of company do I need to have in order to hire foreign workers? What are some of the parameters and rules around that?

There are no statutory minimums for hiring foreign workers in Canada. Under some programs, businesses need to be in operation for at least a year, but we can often assist new corporate entities, especially those resulting from mergers and acquisitions. While we evaluate each case individually, we typically work with established businesses that have at least $500,000 in revenue and five employees. Generally, having been in business for at least a year, employing staff, and generating significant revenue are key factors.
