Hire candidates from abroad

Whether you are looking for an experienced and skilled candidate in a very niche position or cannot fill a position with local resources, Canada immmigration streams allows you to fulfill your business goals with foreign workers.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows Canadian employers the ability to temporarily hire foreign nationals in order to fill shortages in Canada’s labour force.

Labour Market Impact Assessment

One key characteristic of the TFWP is the requirement for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Any employer wishing to hire a foreign national through TFWP must first obtain an LMIA demonstrating that they were unable to find a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the position. Only after obtaining an LMIA will an employer be able to officially hire a foreign national, enabling the foreign national, in turn, to apply for a Canadian work permit or Canadian permanent residence.

Our help allows companies to fulfill the following steps, required to hire someone without the proper Canada legal working status

Excemptions for LMIA

There do exist a number of temporary worker options which allow employers to hire workers without requiring an LMIA. These options are organized within the International Mobility Program which is designed to process LMIA-exempt work permit applications.

In order to hire a foreign worker through the IMP, a Canadian employer must follow three step

• Confirm the position or worker in question qualifies for an LMIA-exemption;
• Pay the employer compliance fee of $230 CAD;
• Submit the official job offer through the IMP’s Employer Portal.

These LMIA exemptions are based on the following conditions:

• broader economic, cultural or other competitive advantages for Canada; and
• reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents.
