Employment Authorization

Canadian businesses wishing to hire overseas workers need to do more than just make a written Offer of employment to foreign national.

Any job offer made to a foreign worker must be processed by Service Canada. SC considers various factors and provides Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), depending upon the purpose.

There are 2 types of processes, depending upon the type of the worker.

Temporary workers – Work permit – Labour Market Impact Assessment. These workers come to Canada to fulfil specific short-term labour shortage. Their entry into Canada is for temporary period only, on a Work permit. SC issues a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) for temporary employment.

Permanent workers –  These workers come to Canada as Permanent Residents. A permanent job offer supports their application with additional points and can often lead to faster selection. Please refer to Qualifying job Offer
