NANAVUT - PREVAILING WAGE/IMMIGRANT PAY

Neither Canada nor any of the provinces has "prevailing wage" regulations that relate to foreign workers. There is a policy in place regarding immigrants that ensures that employers first consider Canadian citizens, as well as permanent residents, and that the entry of foreign workers will not adversely affect employment or career opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. In general, the offer of employment to a foreign worker requires validation by a Human Resources Canada Centre (HRCC), except when a foreign worker is exempt through an international agreement or falls under one of the exemption categories (wages and working conditions, the employer's efforts to consider Canadian citizens as well as permanent residents, etc.). These cases must be examined by a Human Resources and Development Canada (HRDC) officer in order to grant a validation of an offer of employment. Canada does not have any salary scale established, but rather the officers consider the experience of the worker, the education, and the job market situation, unions, and job advertisements to determine whether that the pay is "acceptable Canadian wages". For more information on hiring foreign workers, refer to the Human Resources and Development Canada's web site http://www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/hrib/lmd-dmt/fw-te/common/a.shtml, as well as the Citizenship and Immigration Canada's web site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/about/faq/ask%2D16e.html. These two federal departments are responsible for this policy. The former is responsible for the validation of the offer of employment; the latter is responsible for the employment authorization.
