Athleisure giant Lululemon has been allowed to hire temporary foreign workers for the expansion of its headquarters in British Columbia without seeking local labour first, according to a report.
The company said it would move its headquarters out of Vancouver, and Canada, if it was not be allowed to bypass the rule requiring employers to advertise job posts to Canadians before they are allowed to hire temporary foreign workers, according to the Business Intelligence for B.C. (BIV), citing a report from the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF).
Last year, the employer reached an agreement with the federal and provincial governments to do this and to have the expansion of Lululemon’s headquarters as a special investment project (SIP).
