Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker & International Mobility Programs

Unlock Your Opportunity: Temporary Work in Canada

Canada offers numerous pathways for foreign nationals to work in the country temporarily, addressing labour market needs and promoting broader national interests. These pathways are primarily categorized under two major programs: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP).

Navigating the complexities of these programs requires expert guidance. As a regulated Canadian immigration consulting firm (RCIC-IRB R523726), Samakav Immigration Corp. provides comprehensive support to both Canadian employers and foreign workers, ensuring a smooth and compliant application process.

Understanding Canada's Temporary Work Programs

While both programs facilitate temporary work in Canada, they serve distinct purposes and have different requirements:

• Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP): Jointly administered by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the TFWP allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill genuine labour shortages when qualified Canadians or permanent residents are not available. A key requirement for most TFWP streams is a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
• International Mobility Program (IMP): Administered solely by IRCC, the IMP promotes Canada's broader economic, social, and cultural interests. Work permits issued under the IMP are generally exempt from the LMIA requirement, often based on international agreements, reciprocal employment, or significant benefit to Canada.

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Explained

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that a Canadian employer may need to obtain before hiring a foreign worker through the TFWP. ESDC issues a positive LMIA if it determines that hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labour market. This assessment confirms that there is a genuine need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do the job.

Employers applying for an LMIA must meet specific requirements regarding wages, working conditions, and advertisement efforts. Samakav Immigration Corp. assists employers in understanding and fulfilling these stringent requirements, ensuring their LMIA application is robust and compliant.
