Employers are now required to submit the job offer and other relevant information for the recruitment of a foreign national to Citizenship and Immigration Canada and pay an employer fee of $230.
ELIGIBILITY STATUS OF THE EMPLOYER FEE:
If the foreign national is recruited to work exclusively on research for which Tri-Agency grant funds are provided the full cost of the employer fee of $230 will be eligible for reimbursement from the grant holder鈥檚 grant funds as an eligible recruitment cost per the Tri-Agency Financial Administration Guide.
