Foreign employees returning to Canada

Canadian businesses with foreign employees that frequently travel in and out of Canada may still be denied entry when returning to Canada. It is important that local companies are aware of this potential problem scenario when deciding to send its foreign employees on foreign business visits. In comparison to Canadian employees that re-enter the country, foreign employees are subject to a number of rules and regulations that most businesses are not even aware of. If for example a foreigner commits a crime outside working hours, the employer may never find out about this. However, if the same employee is send abroad, he or she may then run into problems when trying to enter the country again. It is critical that human resource departments and managers are aware of this additional potential problem when sending its foreign employees abroad on business trips.
