LHSC welcomes international workers to become part of Team LHSC! Please be advised, if you are seeking employment on a temporary work or study permit we recommend reviewing work or study permit restrictions as it applies to healthcare organizations in Canada. As per the Government of Canada, LHSC is considered a hospital/healthcare organization, even if an employee is functioning in a non-patient facing role. Individuals on a work or study permit seeking employment in this sector may be required to complete additional steps in the process, including but not limited to a medical exam, which may also apply to employees looking to renew their work or study permit. It is the employee’s accountability to ensure they are adhering to their specific work or study permit restrictions, and we encourage all candidates and LHSC employees to be proactive and review restrictions as soon as possible as it could be a lengthy process.
