Hire Qualified Tradespeople On-Demand

WorkUgo connects your business with a vetted pool of international skilled tradespeople — ready to relocate to Canada and work in roles you can’t fill locally.

We manage candidate sourcing, qualification, certification recognition, visa eligibility checks, and placement coordination, including onboarding. You focus on selecting the right tradesperson, and we handle the rest.

Every candidate is thoroughly vetted for:

• Trade certifications (e.g., in alignment with Provincial requirements or Red Seal standards)
• Hands-on skills (our secret sauce)
• Work experience in industrial, construction, or service environments
• Language ability
• Visa pathway eligibility

We only present candidates who meet Canadian standards and are committed to long-term employment via employer-linked immigration.

Unlike local agencies competing over the same limited talent pool, WorkUgo gives you access to a new supply of international tradespeople—pre-vetted and ready to relocate under employer-linked immigration.

Instead of competing on wages or incentives, you hire loyal, motivated workers whose employment in Canada is directly connected to your job offer.

This means better retention, lower churn, and no poaching risk.

WorkUgo is a premium, end-to-end hiring solution designed for companies that can’t afford project delays or unreliable staffing.

We work exclusively on retained contracts, and you only pay once the role is successfully filled.

Our standard model includes a one-time placement fee, covering:

• International candidate sourcing
• Skills and certification vetting
• Immigration coordination
• Relocation planning
• Ongoing post-arrival support

Clients who choose to cover immigration-related costs (e.g., RCIC or legal filings) after issuing a job offer benefit from a discounted placement fee.

This cost-sharing structure accelerates timelines and reinforces candidate loyalty.

Exact pricing depends on the role, location, and market demand. Volume discounts available. Please reach out to us for further information.

Hiring international tradespeople through WorkUgo typically takes 4 to 6 months from job offer to arrival in Canada, as we prioritize work permit pathways that are favorable to employers, minimizing red tape while ensuring full compliance.

Timelines depend on the candidate’s documentation, immigration history, trade experience, and the current workload of Canadian immigration authorities.

We only present candidates who are aligned with the appropriate visa pathways and who are actively preparing for relocation. Throughout the process, you’ll have full visibility on timelines and milestones. In some cases could it might take longer than 6 months, particularly if the candidate needs to submit additional documentation for credential recognition, updated documents, or if processing delays occur.

If your hire doesn’t pass the probation period, we’ll provide a replacement candidate at no additional placement fee.

We only work with highly vetted, committed tradespeople, but if something doesn’t work out, we’ll make it right. This guarantee reflects our confidence in the quality of our talent and our commitment to your success.
