With penalties for the misuse of immigration programs on the rise, it is crucial that global employers remain compliant and address key changes in global immigration in a proactive manner.

This interactive and comprehensive webinar will focus on South Africa, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, addressing need-to-know changes, common law and civil law distinction, heightened penalties for non-compliance, and emerging trends.
