BorderPass and Dentalcorp Partner to Support International Hiring and Retention Across Canada

BorderPass, one of Canada’s fastest growing technology companies, today announced a new partnership with Dentalcorp, one of Canada’s largest dental networks. Through the partnership, Dentalcorp will use BorderPass to support the immigration needs of international talent across over 600 locations in Canada through one connected system that clarifies pathways and provides on-demand legal support.

As employers across Canada face major labor shortages, international hiring has become a core part of workforce planning, especially in healthcare settings where talent needs are urgent and immigration rules can be hard to manage across provinces and roles.

“As a high-growth network, we needed a consistent and dependable way to manage our supply of quality talent, which includes international talent,” said Nicola Deall, Chief People Officer at Dentalcorp.

“Partnering with BorderPass gives our team visibility, strong legal support, and a structured process for managing work permits, LMIAs, and long-term workforce planning.”

Through the partnership, Dentalcorp will use BorderPass to manage immigration matters across key hiring pathways, using BorderPass’ lawyers to file work permit and PR applications—including the federal Express Entry program and Provincial Nominee Programs.

For a national network with more than 10,000 employees, replacing fragmented spreadsheets with a single compliance dashboard creates meaningful time savings and a more efficient way to manage cases across teams and locations. Talent acquisition teams can see every immigration case in one place, track permit expiries automatically, and move faster with better visibility, fewer delays, and less administrative burden.

For skilled professionals including dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants, the partnership also strengthens Dentalcorp’s ability to attract and retain talent. In a field where qualified professionals are in high demand, giving international team members access to on-demand and affordable legal support and a clearer path to building their future in Canada helps position Dentalcorp as an employer that invests in its people for the long term. That support helps maintain continuity of care, strengthen team capacity, and improve access for the patients and communities they serve.

A Clearer and More Predictable Way to Manage Workforce Growth

For employers managing international talent, immigration support is often fragmented, expensive, and difficult to track. BorderPass brings legal guidance, compliance visibility, and case management into one employer-facing platform designed to support both immediate hiring needs and long-term workforce planning.

‍

“Dentalcorp is setting a strong example for employers managing international talent at scale,” said Sally Daub, Co-founder of BorderPass.

“We are proud to partner with their team to bring legal guidance, compliance, and employee support into one cost-effective platform, helping them fill talent gaps and continue delivering care to Canadians.”

‍

The partnership also creates a stronger foundation for long-term talent pipeline planning. That includes support for school-to-employer pathways where the underlying educational program is eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit under federal rules.

By connecting international talent, employer demand, and legal guidance in one place, BorderPass helps employers build a more dependable approach to hiring and retention.

The BorderPass platform combines immigration workflow management with lawyer-backed support, compliance tracking, and employer visibility. For organizations hiring across multiple roles and locations, this creates a clearer and more manageable way to handle immigration-related work while reducing administrative burden and compliance risk.
