EL SALVADOR - IOM and Government of El Salvador Sign Cooperation Agreement
EL SALVADOR - IOM and Government of El Salvador Sign Cooperation Agreement - IOM and and the El Salvadoran Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Labour and Social Security, have today signed a cooperation agreement aimed at closer cooperation in the fields of labour migration and migration management.
The new agreement will strengthen, expedite and provide increased security to all temporary labour migration programmes.
Since 2002, IOM has assisted applicants for temporary labour migration opportunities in Canada and Spain from El Salvador with 878 Salvadorian migrants currently participating in the programme.
Following a request from the employer, IOM's labour migration selection process begins with advertisements in local media, processing and screening of applications, pre-selection interviews, visits to the applicants' homes, and medical check-ups. The final selection is carried out by the employer during a face-to-face interview with the potential candidates pre-selected by IOM.
After the final selection, the applicants receive IOM assistance in gathering documents and filling in forms to obtain travel documents, support in case of questions regarding their employment contracts, medical exams, language training and cultural orientation.
