Will the foreign worker be able to speak English or French well enough? How do you overcome a foreign worker’s language barrier?

Filed under :

Although we recruit mainly in countries in which French or English is the second language, the language skills vary from one country to another and from one candidate to another. However, we do make sure that the candidate arrives with a basic knowledge. We provide 250 hours of second language classes to workers before they arrive in Canada. Lastly, employers who wish to do so may invite their workers to take a French or English developmental program (usually provided free of charge by the government, if required). For more information about the different language training and education provided, check out the following links:
