Experience the Upforce difference

A different kind of Canadian recruitment agency.

We are an Edmonton-based specialist focused on what most Canadian employers actually need: a single team that can run a local search, navigate Mobilité Francophone, LMIA, IMP, and PR pathways, and file employer-side IRCC paperwork — without bouncing you between three vendors.

Every engagement starts with a written agreement, milestone-based pricing, and a clear timeline. Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee. No black box, no surprise invoices, no hand-offs to "partners" you never met.

Flexible workforce models

Built around your business cycles

Hiring needs do not follow a calendar. A line cook leaves mid-summer. A second location opens in eight weeks. A welder retires and the next shift needs covering. Upforce is structured to start a search inside 24 hours and land the right hire in 6 to 10 weeks — whether the candidate is in Edmonton or coming through a Francophone immigration pathway.

Our five-step process is the same every time: discovery call, written proposal, sourcing, paperwork, arrival. You get a single point of contact, a fixed timeline, and milestone-based payments — so cost and risk are visible at every stage, not buried in a final invoice.

Our industries

Built for Alberta industries.
