Breaking New Ground: IMPRAC Sends First Cohort to Mauritius
The International Migration Policy Recruitment and Advisory Centre (IMPRAC) has marked a significant milestone by successfully sending its first group of skilled professionals to Mauritius. This exciting development underscores IMPRAC’s commitment to facilitate fair and ethical recruitment and safeguard conditions that ensure decent work.
IMPRAC is a reputable Private Recruitment Agency that promotes safe, regular and well-informed migration through reliable information and timely advice to migrants and their families to support fair recruitment of labour for decent work globally.
A New Chapter in IMPRAC’s support to Africa Regional Integration
The selected individuals, hailing from diverse professional backgrounds including; Foremen, Carpenters, Electricians, Masons and Tylers are set to contribute their skills, knowledge and expertise to the Mauritius construction industry. Whilst this initiative provides Mauritius with the required labour needs, it also provides these artisans with valuable international experience and exposure and also expected to support their families in Ghana through remittances and other resources.
Ensuring a Smooth Transition
IMPRAC has been diligent in preparing the cohorts for their new roles in Mauritius through effective coordination with the relevant authorities in Ghana and Mauritius including; the Ministries of Labour in Ghana and Mauritius as well as the Ghana Mission in Mauritius. The Candidates were selected through technical assessment and certification of their competencies by the Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC) one of IMPRAC’s highly valued partners. Comprehensive pre-departure briefing sessions were conducted, covering topics like cultural and air-travel orientation and socio-economic profile of Mauritius.. This holistic approach ensures that the migrant workers are well-equipped to integrate seamlessly into their new environment.
Looking Ahead
As IMPRAC continues to expand its horizon, this successful deployment to Mauritius sets a promising precedent for South – South cooperation and Africa regional integration through migration policy advice. IMPRAC remains dedicated to supporting migrants and host countries alike, fostering bilateral labour exchange through labour agreements and fair labour recruitment.
FIRST COHORT ARRIVE IN MAURITIUS.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has issued a travel advisory to Ghanaians living in Mauritius.
In the advisory, the minister cautioned Ghanaians in Mauritius with tourist visas to stop engaging in employment activities in the Indian Ocean Island country.
The ministry’s warning comes after the government of Mauritius issued an employment restriction on foreigners without work permits.
“In view of this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to advise Ghanaians who travel to Mauritius on tourist visas not to engage in menial jobs in the construction and hospitality sectors without being issued with a work and residence permit,” part of the advisory reads.
The government of Mauritius, in its employment restriction notice, warned that foreigners who are caught in the country working without a valid work permit are liable to a prison term of five years.
“The Ministry of Labour, Human Resource Development and Training of the Republic of Mauritius has informed that its employment restrictions act indicates that non-citizens would not be allowed to engage in any occupation for profit or reward unless issued a valid work and residence permit. Additionally, work permit is predicated on the issuance of a residence permit by the Passport and Immigration Office (PIO) as the work permit is null and void if a residence permit is not granted to the foreign worker.
“It is worthy to note that any person who has in his/her establishment, a non-citizen without a valid work permit and any non-citizen who engages in any occupation without a work permit is in contravention of the non-citizens (Employment Restrictions Act), such persons are liable to a fine and to an imprisonment term of five years,” part of the notice reads
