The Canadian Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA) has formed an exciting strategic partnership with Talent Beyond Boundaries (TBB), giving CRCA members access to a new labour pool.

“This partnership, a first of its kind for the construction industry and the roofing/building envelope sector, will provide CRCA members a new source of much needed labour,” said CRCA executive director, Jim Facette.

A non-government organization, TBB is a trusted referral partner of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP), which helps bring skilled refugees to Canada for stable employment. TBB has supported more than 150 refugees to secure job offers from employers in Canada.

“We are thrilled to see the CRCA pioneering the use of the EMPP to fill labour gaps in the roofing/building envelope sector,” added TBB Canada director Lara Dyer. “We hope this will open the door for more sectors in the construction industry to take advantage of this innovative immigration program.”

The CRCA – TBB strategic partnership will provide CRCA member companies access to people with proven skills who not only want to make Canada their new home, but who also want the opportunity for a good-paying job in the industrial, commercial, and institutional roofing/building envelope sector.
