As the employer, you will have to apply for something called an LMIA or Labour Market Impact Assessment. This will be granted if it is deemed that there is no Canadian or permanent resident who can do the job. This is quite tricky.

There are instances where this step may not be necessary. There are several conditions or examples where, if you…[Read more]

No, they don’t. But don’t let that worry you. It’s no big deal. You can contact them and still get the right products. They can advise you. Just ask for installation and monitoring. They can recommend someone good. I can tell you that they have really good prices for some of their products.

I know Aartech well. I have bought many products from them. I think the previous poster did not mention something. Aartech only provides you with products. You have to install it yourself. In view of some things you have said, this may be tricky for you.

What an interesting dilemma! To test or not to test, that is the question. I don’t envy your position at all…
