Effective July 1, temporary agencies and recruiters require a license to conduct business in Ontario. This is true even if the agency is located outside Ontario, but assigns workers to work in Ontario.
This requirement may impact some immigration-related matters, including situations where a third party is technically the employer of a foreign worker, sending that foreign worker to service a client of theirs in Ontario.
