### Are you an HR, payroll or compliance leader at a Quebec SME?

If you already employ, or plan to hire, foreign workers, this session could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and a great deal of stress.

Join us online on **Thursday, July 31,** for a 20-minute lunch-and-learn and learn how to protect your company from fines of up to CA$365,000 and sail through your next Service Canada inspection.

### Why you should attend?

- **1 in 9 Canadian employers** currently fails a federal immigration-compliance inspection.
- In just six months, more than **CA$2.1 million** in fines were issued, and **20 companies** were banned from the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
- A single incomplete file can trigger a **CA$365,000** penalty, public “black-listing” and a hiring ban—devastating for talent acquisition and employer brand.

Quebec’s extra layers—language rules, CAQ, provincial median wages—raise the stakes: a payroll slip or missing document can quickly become a six-figure time-bomb.

 

### What you’ll learn in 20 minutes

We’ll start with the latest inspection landscape for Quebec employers—key 2024-2025 numbers and trends. You’ll then see the five most common violations (non-compliant wages, poor record-keeping, limited cooperation with inspectors, and more).

We’ll also break down the real-world impact: fines, HR workload spikes, frozen international hiring and lasting reputational damage.

Finally, you’ll take away a four-step “audit-ready” plan, simple habits to implement before Service Canada calls. 

 

### Who should attend?

- HR and payroll managers
- Compliance officers and operations leads
- Owners and executives of Quebec SMEs that employ (or plan to employ) skilled workers
