Some industries have higher investigation requirements. If your company belongs to one of these industries, you must be able to report how the company is able to guarantee pay for the person applying for a work permit. You must also be able to prove that the conditions exist for you to be able to pay their salary/wages for at least three months.

These rules apply to you if you employ employees within the following industries:

• Cleaning (81290, 81210)
• Hotel and restaurant (55101, 56)
• Construction (41200, 421, 42990, 43)
• Trade (471–478)
• Agriculture and forestry (0113, 012, 02102)
• Automotive workshop (452)
• Service (9602, 9604, 9609)
• Staffing (782)
• Personal assistance (88101, 88102)
