Settlement Services

1. Work Permit Application Representation (Mandatory)

Please note that our Recruiting Services (connecting you with a Canadian employer) are separate from Immigration Representation (preparing and submitting your work permit application).

Under Canadian law, anyone who provides immigration advice or representation for a fee must be a licensed professional. To protect you and to support a successful application, we require that your work permit application be professionally handled by one of the following:

1. 1. A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC); or

   2. A Canadian lawyer or licensed paralegal in good standing with a provincial or territorial law society.

2. Your Options for Representation

You have two options for handling your work permit application:

Option A – Hire an Independent Representative

You are free to hire any licensed Canadian lawyer or RCIC of your choice. If you select this option, you must provide us with:

1. 1. A copy of your signed service/retainer agreement with your chosen representative; and

   2. Your representative’s direct contact information.

You must also confirm with your representative that they will promptly share the following documents with us upon receipt:

1. 1. A copy of the final work permit application submitted to IRCC;

   2. The IRCC official submission confirmation (showing your application/file number);

   3. Any biometrics or passport request letters; and

   4. The final decision letter issued by IRCC.

Option B – Retain Our Company (Work Permit Application –  $1,500 CAD & Government Fees – $240 CAD)

You may also choose to retain our company, Harvest Hills Immigration & Citizenship Ltd., to professionally prepare and submit your work permit application. We are Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) licensed to provide this service.

1. 1. Service: Work Permit Application Preparation & Submission

   2. Professional Fee: $1,500 CAD

   3. Government Fees Payable by You: Work Permit Fee ($155) + Biometrics Fee ($85) = $240 CAD per person

Disclaimer: This is a completely optional immigration service, separate from our recruiting activities. The choice to retain us for this service is entirely yours and will not affect your eligibility for our recruiting services.

3. Required Government Application Fees

These fees are paid directly to the Government of Canada (IRCC) and are separate from any professional representation fees.

1. 1. Work Permit Application Fee: $155 CAD (per person)

   2. Biometrics Fee: $85 CAD (per person)

Note: If your country has foreign currency controls and you are unable to pay these fees directly to IRCC, our company may pay these government fees on your behalf. In that case, you will reimburse us for these amounts after your work permit is approved and you have arrived in Canada.

4. Important Notice: Unauthorized Representatives

1. To protect your application and ensure full compliance with Canadian law, we cannot work with unlicensed or unauthorized third-party “ghost” consultants or agents.
2. If an unlicensed third party becomes involved in your immigration file, our services will be halted immediately, and we will no longer be able to assist you with your recruitment or immigration process.
