FOR CANDIDATES
The Alberta labour shortage and on a larger scale, Canada's labour shortage
are growing issues that Unison hopes to address with Canadian business owners
by hiring foreign workers. However this solution cannot be complete without
high quality candidates, a very integral part of Unison's total solution.
We strongly believe the candidates that we place are representatives of
Unison and work with employers to place the best possible candidates for
each opportunity.
To be considered for a work term in Canada, please
Email
your resume application in MS Word format. While we appreciate all interest,
in most cases only English speaking candidates will be considered.
The length of work terms will range from 12-36 months
once agreements have been signed by the employer and candidate. It is the
goal of Unison to be fair, accommodating and to ensure equal satisfaction
for both employer and candidate. Prior to arriving in Alberta, Unison Human
Resources will Coordinate all requirements for employee bank accounts, drivers
licenses and government sponsored health care.
Over the past 100 years, immigrants from many countries have made the province
of Alberta their home. Now, immigrants make up a significant percentage
of the Alberta population of over 3.2 million people. The government encourages
Canadians from every part of the world to take pride in their language,
religion and heritage
Approximately one third of Albertans live in and around the city of Calgary,
one third live in towns and villages elsewhere in the province and one third
live in the greater Edmonton
area. Edmonton,
the provincial capital, is located in central Alberta. Calgary is located
300 kilometres to the south.
