2. In order to prepare for the worker’s arrival, several tasks must be completed. For example, they must enrol in English or French courses (as needed) before their arrival, air travel must be booked, an apartment must be rented*, basic furniture and suitable clothing must be purchased, and they will need help with their visit to the grocery store, etc.
3. Lastly, the very important stage of welcoming and integrating the candidate into the country must be orchestrated. This includes meeting them at the airport, helping them open a bank account, getting a phone, applying for private health insurance, applying for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) and other similar applications, and, ultimately, post-integration support.
