08 Feb All you need to know about CETA's Labour Mobility Provisions in Canada - Webinar

Join this webinar live on Wednesday February 8, 2023 at 10 a.m. EST and find out how to benefit from CETA’s Labour Mobility Provisions in Canada.

Low unemployment rates, labour challenges and shortages have continued to impact employers in Canada over the past few months. To address this problem, Canada issued over 645.000 work permits between January & October 2022. Further down the road, CETA can contribute to filling Canada’s skills and workforce shortages by offering several alternatives to facilitate labour mobility and skills transfer between the EU and Canada.
