I am interested in sharing my work experience. (E.g. resume) I think it will help with matching me with the best employer. Can I do that in the Portal?

Yes. Once you have completed the FineSkilz Canada curriculum and have been certified The portal will be able to accept a cover letter and resume in one file. The file format should be either Word or PDF and the file size should not exceed 2MB.

How will on boarding of new resources be managed (i.e. understanding of Immigration and Employment policies/procedures and standards)?

Once a match has been made both the employer and the health care provider will receive an email from SkilzCanada Immigration Consultants to set-up next steps in the process of Offer of Employment, Work Permit and Residency Application requirements with Immigration Canada.

How will an offer of employment and salary by an Employer be made?

The matching portal is intended to make that first connection between Employers in need of care providers with qualified and immigration eligible candidates. While the caregiver can reach out to search for job opportunities, once a match has been made, the employer is responsible for reaching out to the available health care provider to arrange next steps in the process and discuss details of the assignment, including payment and immigration requirements.

Can a health care provider work for multiple employers?

Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health has directed that wherever possible, in-home and long-term care homes should work with employees to limit the number of work locations that employees are working at, to minimize risk to patients of exposure to COVID-19. The PR Home Support Worker Pilot is an occupation restricted but OPEN WORK Permit. Meaning multiple employers are permitted. Temporary assignments however are closed work permits and limits it to one employer.
