Webinar | Blizzard Warning: A Primer on the Basics of Employment and Immigration Laws in Canada

Resource

Our Employment & Labour group – Andrea Raso, Anne Amos-Stewart, Catherine Repel and Debbie Preston – and our Immigration Consultants, John Soden and Pu Zhang recently recorded a webinar that was crafted to cover some of the key aspects of Canadian employment law.

Canadian employment law affords a great deal of protection to employees and non-Canadian employers are often unaware of significant potential liabilities and how to minimize them.

In this webinar, we provided information on the following topics that employers should be aware of:

  • Applicable legislation and jurisdiction
  • Entitlements on termination and leaves of absence
  • Human rights
  • Workers compensation
  • Immigration issues and considerations
