Please let me know how I can legally take advantage of a skilled immigrant labor pool in this province. It is tremendously difficult, if not impossible, for a skilled immigrant to find legal employment in the Quebec construction industry without language skills and connections etc.. The bottom line is that they end up being employed in the black market by unscrupulous “contractors” who undercut those of us trying to operate within the law, thus making it impossible to make a decent living without also participating in this practice.
