"Job offer confirmation is conducted by Service Canada (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada). This organization works in conjunction with Citizenship and Immigration Canada to ensure that the employment of foreign workers has an overall beneficial effect to Canada.
The confirmation process is intended to ensure that the employment of a foreign worker does not have any negative labour market impact in Canada. This generally entails that the Canadian employer has made a significant effort to hire a Canadian for the position of employment, that that effort was unsuccessful, and that the foreign worker is qualified for the position.
Depending on the nature of the position and the location of the job offer, there may exist recognized shortages, which can facilitate confirmation of certain job offers. Current examples include certain information technology professionals, construction workers in some locations, and live-in-caregivers."
