Many of my friends familes sponsored people from their country (Lebanon) to work and none had a clue on how things worked, but are still working 6 days a week 12 hour days. They are obviously more experienced now than they were 3-4 years ago when they came, but I wouldn't say they are extremely experienced as they had no experience before coming here.
They are definitely the most hard working honest people you will meet though.

Depends what country you get them from. I had a client hire a lot from Mexico (all worked the same job there), and all were spectacular and already well-trained. If he could have chose between replacing all his work staff and brining more up, let's just say it wouldn't have been a good day for the locals. This had nothing to do with wages either because he paid the Mexican the same as the Canadians. He'd simply figured he got more work, better quality, and less BS with the foreign workers.
