Work permit through The PGC Group

[softyCanada]

Hi,
I have an IT contractor job lined up in Canada but need to be employed to obtain a working permit. The PGC Group has offered to act as my employer so that I can be consultant on that job. Do you have any info about them ? That would be very helpful !!!
Thanks.

It appears neither you nor PGC fully understand the process. The company will need to apply to the Government to hire you. This can be refused. They will need to advertise the position across Canada and prove they did so ad could not find a suitable candidate.
You will need to be an employee. I doubt a consultant would cut it.
Don't know anything about the company.

Thanks for your answer. I did not want to put too much info but yes the process is clear to me. I am just trying to gather some information about them because there is not much to be found on internet.

PGC = Publishers Group Canada? Or Playwrights Guild of Canada? Precision Global Consulting? Or these ones: Company Overview ? Or something else?

None of them. Look in Google for The PGC Group. I can't post the link...

Maybe you can write down the address in a more creative way, like pgc [dot] ca?

Thanks

Is it possible that you get the name wrong? Because your link gives

Oops! Internet Explorer could not find www.thepgcgroup.ca

Did you mean: www.*thepgcgroup.*com

Additional suggestions:
•Go to www.*thegpcgroup.*com

So, instead of PGC, could it be GPC? (but I couldn't find a gpc.ca... only a gpc.com)
That gpcgroup only has offices in Aghanistan, Abu Dhabi and the US. Don't see offices in Canada.

Do you have to pay them any costs? If so: don't do it!
