What is the Recognized Employer Pilot Program?
Canada has a special new program that helps people from different countries come and work in Canada. It’s called the Recognized Employer Pilot Program (REP).
This program is like a pilot because it’s just starting out and will be tested from September 2023 to September 2024.
Phases of the Program
The REP program has two parts, or phases:
Agricultural Sector Focus (September 2023): In this phase, the program is all about jobs on farms.
People who work with animals, harvest fruits and veggies, or use big machines on farms can apply for this type of work permit.
All Professions Welcome (January 2024): When January 2024 comes around, the program opens up to lots of other jobs too!
This is great news because people who are engineers, architects, managers, or work in healthcare can also apply for a work permit through this program.
Cool Things About the REP Program
Here are some awesome features of the REP program:
Recognized Employers:
Only companies that treat their workers nicely and follow fair rules can be part of this program. That means if a company wants to join, they have to be really good bosses!
Longer Work Permits:
When a recognized company hires a foreign worker, they can get special permission for that worker to stay and work for up to three years.
That’s a lot of time! And after the first two years, the worker might even be able to stay longer.
Pathways to Permanent Residency:
Do you know what permanent residency means? It’s like making a new home in Canada forever! The REP program can help workers on this journey.
As they work and learn more, they might be able to apply to stay in Canada forever.
How to Apply for the REP Program
Ready to find out how you can be a part of this amazing program? Here’s what you need to do:
Visit the Official Job Bank Website: Go to a special website called Job Bank (Jobbank.gc.ca).
There, you can look for job postings from companies that are part of the REP program.
Follow the Instructions: When you find a job you like, just follow the steps the company tells you to do.
They will guide you on how to apply for the job and the work permit.
Important Tip: Don’t Pay for Anything! If someone asks you to pay money for a work permit or a job offer, don’t do it!
The REP program is meant to help workers, and you shouldn’t have to pay for these things.
