Study Notes
International Mobility Program - Work Permit Categories
- Work permits under the International Mobility Program have various categories.
- An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is sometimes required for hiring foreign nationals.
LMIA Requirements
- Employers must test the Canadian job market to see if a suitable Canadian candidate exists before hiring a foreign national.
- The employer must advertise the job opening in a specific way.
- If a suitable local candidate isn't found, the employer can apply for an LMIA.
- A positive or neutral LMIA allows the employer to hire the foreign national.
- A negative LMIA prohibits the hiring of the foreign national.
Work Permit Application Process
- Step 1: Determine if an LMIA is needed or if the foreign national (FN) will apply under the International Mobility Program.
-
Step 2: Consider the FN's nationality:
- eTA required/US nationals: Can apply for a work permit at the border (no application forms needed, but supporting documentation required).
- Visa-required nationals: Must apply online, completing application forms and providing supporting documentation.
- Step 3: The employer registers the job offer with IRCC ("employer portal"). The file number must be included in the application form.
- Step 4: The representative compiles the application and clearly outlines how the FN meets the requirements of the specific work permit category.
