4. “The process is whelming!Although I was able to easily advertise and find a
therapist in England, I didn’t quite understand the process of obtaining a LMIA.
Janine and her staff have provided me with invaluable information and support
through this entire process.Their knowledge about the system and government
programs is something we as employers have little understanding of when we first
start this journey.
Although recruiting from overseas has been frustrating at times, the staff at the
HRNC has been there for me to provide support and guidance. I have successfully
recruited a PhysicalTherapist from England and I could not be happier. My new staff
member, his wife and I continue to utilise the services of the HRNC.
Thank you again Janine and staff, I don’t know what I would have done without you!”
