Ability to work in a hands-on role, including standing, bending, and lifting as needed.
Flexibility to work early mornings, weekends, and peak-season schedules.

Visa Sponsorship & Immigration Information:
Qualified international candidates may be considered for employer-supported work authorization through Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). This typically involves the employer obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), after which the candidate can apply for a Canadian work permit.

Language test results (e.g., IELTS/CELPIP) are not always required for a work permit but can be helpful for future pathways such as Express Entry or provincial programs. Sponsorship decisions are based on operational needs and compliance with Canadian immigration regulations.
