Temperory Foreign Worker Program

WORK PERMITS

This program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals because of their inability to hire a Canadian citizen or Permanent resident to fill up a vacant position in the organization. The program works through a close collaboration between Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

 

How Does It Work?

• An employer first attempts to fill the vacant position by trying to find a suitable candidate from within Canada
• Having failed to find a suitable Canadian, the employer submits an application with ESDC to receive a positive LMIA
• ESDC then conducts a Labor Market Impact Assessment to assess the impact of this hiring on the Canadian job market
• Based on the findings, ESDC then issues a decision on the LMIA application
• If the decision received is a positive LMIA then it can be used to apply for a Closed work permit for the applicant
• This closed work permit then allows the candidate to travel to Canada and start working for the employer
