Employ a worker who does not have an LMIA:

About the process

The International Mobility Program allows you (the company) to engage a temporary employee without first doing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

In most circumstances, you must submit a job offer using the Employer Portal.

The temporary foreign worker must apply for a work permit once your part is completed.

There are various conditions and responsibilities that you must meet once your temporary foreign worker arrives. If it’s not, you might get a fine.

2. Your job offer must include details about:
3. your company the foreign worker you’d like to hire the job specifics.

When you hire a temporary foreign worker

After you’ve completed the recruiting process and the temporary worker’s work visa application has been approved, you’ll have specific responsibilities and conditions to meet.

Responsibilities of the Employer
You must do the following if you recruited a temporary worker under the International Mobility Program:

1. Location of employment
2. How long they can work in Canada
3. Fulfill the specifics of the job offer you submitted to us, including
4. A job in the appropriate field
5. Responsibilities that correspond to the National Occupation Classification (NOC) code
6. No salary and less favorable working circumstances (only equal or better)
7. Prepare medical insurance and workers’ compensation benefits for their arrival in Canada
8. As your province or territory requires
9. As specified in the job offer
10. Be involved in the business that made the job offer for as long as the work visa is valid

Keep documents for 6 years

You must maintain all papers pertaining to your temporary worker’s employment for a period of six years from the date we issued their work visa. We may request that you produce the paperwork to demonstrate that you accepted the worker’s job offer.

For example, if you hire a worker, you may be obliged to submit a log or record of the number of hours they worked. This can safeguard you or the worker if the amount of hours specified in the contract varies.

You may also be required to present paperwork on the foreign worker’s employment if they do not end up working for you or do not stay for the entire duration of the work visa.
