Can a Canadian company hire a foreign employee?
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows employers to hire foreign workers to fill temporary labour and skill shortages. Before you can hire a temporary worker for a Canadian job, in most cases you must apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Which Canadian companies sponsor foreign workers?
Yes. As long as you remain outside of Canada, you are not subject to Canadian immigration law. You also don't have to pay Canadian taxes. Canadian companies are free to hire foreigners, but are subject to the laws of the countries in which they do so if they hire you as a regular employee.
