Thank you!
Thank you!
There are absolutely parts of the form you will not be able to fill in. For example, it asks how many full time staff are permanent residents and how many are on visas - how are you going to know that? However, the bits of the form that take the most time, are the bits that ask why you want to employ the person and what they will do. You can certainly write those - at least, anyone capable of drafting a focussed cover letter for a job should be able to to. So I suspect you are just going to have to do the bits you can, and they fill in the rest. They have to submit the form anyway. And you have to fill in your bits anyway.
And no, there is no template. There is just factual information and then a good story as to why you need the person for the company. If they ever applied in the past, as for that form as all the boiler plate would already be on it.
UPDATE! As some people suspected, this was a job offer that turned sour. Turns out corporate was not willing to support a visa for a part-time worker, so the offer has been rescinded -- until the day I can get a visa. And should I procure one, I told the employer, that would marry me to another company, not theirs. I've learned a lot in the process and thank everyone who offered warnings.
@NY girl thanks for the update. Was seriously left wondering if I had missed some changes in immd policies.
