Ottawa included payroll administrators' occupations to the list of eligible occupations under the FSWP by encouraging employers to hire foreign nationals to fill vacant jobs.

The Human Resources departments from various employers suggested that the Canadian authorities recruit highly skilled foreign immigrants with a recognized foreign education and good work experience.
