Filipino workers have become a valuable part of Canada’s workforce in industries like healthcare, hospitality, construction, and agriculture. Known for their dedication, flexibility, and strong work ethic, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) help fill important job gaps across the country.

Hiring skilled Filipino workers requires following the right legal steps, understanding cultural differences, and working with reliable partners. This guide helps Canadian employers navigate the hiring process smoothly.

Partnering with Finest Asia Resources, Inc. ensures you get trusted support every step of the way—making it easier to bring talented Filipino professionals to your team.

Identify Your Hiring Needs

Begin by evaluating your staffing requirements. Whether you’re hiring for roles in agriculture, hospitality, or healthcare, it’s important to define the specific job positions, required skills, whether the roles are skilled or non-skilled, and the terms of employment. Clear and detailed job descriptions not only attract the right Filipino candidates but also help prevent misunderstandings later in the hiring process.

Work With a Licensed Recruitment Agency in the Philippines

To legally hire Filipino workers, Canadian employers must collaborate with the (DMW) Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) licensed recruitment agency. This agency handles candidate sourcing, pre-screening, documentation, and coordination with Philippine authorities.

This is where Finest Asia Resources, Inc. makes a difference. With over 44 years of trusted experience, we are recognized as one of the Philippines’ most reliable and ethical recruitment agencies. Our strong grasp of both Canadian labor market needs and Philippine recruitment laws ensures a smooth, compliant, and efficient hiring process from start to finish.

Process the Job Order and Employer Accreditation

Once you’ve partnered with a licensed agency like Finest Asia Resources, Inc., the next step is submitting a Job Order to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). This includes job details, employment terms, and contracts. Employers must also complete an accreditation process to show they are legitimate and committed to fair employment practices.

With decades of experience, Finest Asia ensures all documents meet DMW requirements—helping you avoid delays, rejections, and ensuring a smooth, hassle-free process.

Simultaneously, Finest Asia Resources, Inc. will start sourcing and screening candidates through our extensive database and trusted job portals. We also conduct interviews, background checks, and skills assessments tailored to your industry needs.
