International Mobility Program
The International Mobility Program is a useful option for Canadian employers seeking to hire temporary foreign workers without undergoing the process of obtaining a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). While an LMIA is generally required, there are certain exemptions available based on the type of business and the plans for employing international talent in the long term.
As a Canadian employer, you can take advantage of the LMIA exemption codes established by the Canadian government through the International Mobility Program. For instance, hiring workers from countries that Canada has Free Trade Agreements with or from Ceta countries, as well as utilizing programs such as the Global Talent Stream or Intra-Company Transfer Program, are just a few examples of LMIA exemptions that can benefit your business.
