Did you know that LMIA-exempt work permits are a convenient way for foreign workers to work in Canada without the need for LMIA processing? These work permits are granted for jobs that are deemed beneficial for Canada.
Examples of LMIA exempt work permits are work permits for international graduates, intra-company transferees, and individuals participating in international agreements like CUSMA and other Free Trade Agreements (Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, & Panama) among other.
For employers who need to hire foreign workers promptly, LMIA exempt work permits can be a fantastic option. LMIA-exempt job offers are a way for employers to attract and retain top talent from around the world while supporting Canada's economic growth and competitiveness.

LMIA-based work permits are issued to foreign workers who have received a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
The LMIA is a document that verifies there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a job position in Canada and that there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available to do the job.
Once the LMIA is approved, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit to come to Canada and work for the employer who made the job offer. The work permit is tied to the specific job and employer, and the worker must comply with all the conditions of the LMIA and work permit.
