Access To Foreign Workers (Ukraine, etc.)

Has anyone been through the process of bringing in foreign workers? I know that Canada is expediting the process for Ukrainians and we'd love to have access to any plumbers that are looking for work.

If English is an issue, we'd put them on a crew working in high rise riser replacement (as opposed to a service plumber that visits homes, etc. and needs a good command of English and our roads to get around). The riser work is a few months work at the same location btw.

I checked canada.ca but everything seems to be geared towards the person wanting work, not the company looking for workers.

We're hesitant to use an immigration firm as they're an unknown to us but would consider it if someone has a recommendation.

Thanks all.

I’d drop a note to your local MP.

Edit: Also, good for you!

Have any large scale farming acquantances? They bring in a ton of foreign workers every year. I don't know any well enough to get you answers.

EDIT:
Here's the start of the relevant government mazes for permanent or temporary workers. Not sure if Ukraine has a special program.

Excellent, thank you! Your search skills are better than mine.
