To prove that there is a demand for foreign employees to fill a particular employment post, employers who want to hire foreign workers can submit an application for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Depending on the type of the hired foreign worker and the requirements of the position, the LMIA procedure may in some instances be waived.
A work permit application can be made by foreign workers who have received a job offer from a Canadian business. A positive LMIA must have been acquired by the employer or they must be exempt from the LMIA requirement before they may proceed.
Additionally, foreign workers must fulfil a number of requirements in order to be eligible for a work permit, including having the necessary education and experience for the position, passing a medical exam, and presenting documentation of their ability to support themselves. Depending on their country of citizenship, certain international workers might also need a visiting visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) to enter Canada.
It is significant to note that based on the particular program or category of the foreign worker, the eligibility requirements for work permits and LMIA exemptions may change. To ascertain the precise needs and options for each unique situation, it is advised to speak with a qualified immigration representative or an experienced immigration lawyer.
