Canada is in need of foreign workers. Companies in many provinces of Canada are struggling with the problem of labour shortage that is an obstacle to the growth of businesses. Hiring foreign workers not only leads to closing the gaps in the workforces but to creation of jobs and knowledge transfer for the benefits of a Canadian society.

Work permit and LMIA

If you are not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident and you would like to come to Canada for work, you would normally need a work permit. However, before applying for a work permit you need to have a job offer from a Canadian employer.

If a foreign worker is coming under Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), the employer must apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Once Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) approves LMIA application, a foreign worker will be able to apply for a work permit.

LMIA exemption

In certain cases, foreign workers can come to Canada under International Mobility Program (IMP) that waives the requirement of applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

Open work permit

If you are eligible for an open work permit, you do not need to have a job offer from a Canadian employer.

Canada First Way Immigration will thoroughly analyse your particular situation and will guide you and your employer through all necessary steps.

A Canadian employer may hire foreign workers under Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) or International Mobility Program (IMP). A foreign worker coming under TFWP will need a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to apply for a work permit. A positive LMIA is a confirmation of the fact that there is a need for foreign workforce to fill a certain vacancy and that no Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available to do the job.

It is not always easy to receive a positive LMIA as the outcome depends on different factors. It is important to consider all those factors when applying for LMIA.

Canada First Way Immigration will assist employers with the process of applying for LMIA to the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC); will help them meet necessary LMIA requirements such as advertisement, offer of employment, salary range; will follow up with the government on their behalf.

Federal Skilled Trades Program is designed for people who are qualified in a skilled trade. Examples of skilled trades are plumbers, electricians, machinists, welders, butchers, etc. The language criteria of this immigration stream are significantly less demanding in comparison to Federal Skilled Worker program.
