TEMPORARY WORKERS

Canada has different work permit programs under which a foreign national can apply.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program
- Employers must obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labour and skill shortages. The LMIA verifies that there is a need for a temporary worker and that no Canadians or permanent residents are available to do the job.

International Mobility Program (IMP)
- The IMP lets employers hire temporary workers without an LMIA. Exemptions from the LMIA process are based on both of the following:
  - the broader economic, cultural or other competitive advantages for Canada
  - the reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents
