Work Permits Explained
To work in Canada, you need the correct authorization. Generally, this comes in the form of a Canadian Work Permit. There are more than 100 different types of Canadian Work Permits, each with its own set of requirements and conditions. In many cases, there are situations where more than one type of work permit is available to you. Some are simpler than others to understand and obtain, with many being highly complex – requiring a deep understanding of Canadian immigration law to apply for.
Luckily, we’re experts in all aspects of the Canadian Work Permit process, with more than a decade of professional experience navigating the most complex sets of work scenarios for companies and the foreign nationals they hire.
———
Work Permits fall into one of two categories, either they are LMIA-required or they are LMIA-exempt.
An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is an authorization that a Canadian company must receive from the government in order to hire foreign workers in specific roles. An LMIA is not a work permit!
———
LMIA-required
Once a positive LMIA is issued to the company, they can then add the names of workers that they want to hire on Canadian Work Permits. The LMIA is approved for a certain number of positions per application. (For example, 5 Truck Mechanics at a dealership in Edmonton, or 3 chefs at a restaurant in Vancouver.)
LMIAs are occupation and location specific. Therefore, a company with an approved LMIA for 5 Truck Mechanics at their dealership in Edmonton can’t use that LMIA to hire Truck Mechanics at their dealership in Calgary. Similarly, they couldn’t use the LMIA that was approved for Truck Mechanics to hire an Office Manager in Edmonton.
Once the names of recruited workers are added to the LMIA, applications for Canadian Work Permits can then be made to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). At this point, on the application for the work permit, workers must document their ability to perform the duties of the job that is being offered to them, in addition to meeting other admissibility and background requirements for entry to Canada.
Companies generally have 12 months to fill the spots on their approved LMIA.
LMIAs are needed both to hire and retain workers. Therefore, if a work permit holder has an expiring work permit, the company must obtain a new LMIA for their position in order for their work permit to be renewed.
The LMIA plus Work Permit combination is the default and traditional means of obtaining work authorization in Canada.
It can be used for any occupation, in any location, for workers from any nationality.
LMIA-based Work Permits are employer-specific, meaning that workers are only authorized to work for the employer named on the approved LMIA.
———
LMIA-exempt
But an LMIA-based Work Permit is not the only way to get a work permit in Canada. This is where LMIA-exempt work permits come into the picture – work permits that can be obtained without an LMIA.
The list of available LMIA-Exempt Work Permits is long, with the bulk of them being very niche and narrow in scope.
LMIA-Exempt Work Permits are either:
- Open
- Employer-Specific
1. Open Work Permits are just that, open. Meaning, that you can work for any employer, in any occupation, in any location in Canada.
The most popular Open Work Permits are Post-Graduation Work Permits, Spouse of High-Skilled Workers, and International Experience Canada – Working Holidays.
2. But most LMIA-Exempt Work Permits are not open, and are still employer-specific and are commonly issued under one of Canada’s many Free Trade Agreements. Usually, these Free Trade Agreements have provisions which permit the entrance of specific professionals into Canada without the need for an LMIA, such as Engineers from Mexico or Chefs from Colombia.
Some of the most popular LMIA-Exemptions are:
- CUSMA (Canada United States Mexico Agreement)
- Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement
- Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement
- Comprehensive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
- Francophone Mobility Program
- International Experience Canada – Young Professionals
Hiring workers through LMIA-Exempt programs is beneficial to Canadian employers as it offers a process with less expense and less government hassle.
