Planning to work in Canada? 🇨🇦 Understanding the different work permit options is an important first step.
Canada’s work permits generally fall under two major programs:
🔹 Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) — typically requires an LMIA and is designed to address specific labour needs.
🔹 International Mobility Program (IMP) — allows eligible foreign workers to obtain work permits without an LMIA under specific exemptions, including certain international agreements and other public policy considerations.
The type of work permit you may qualify for depends on your circumstances, the job, and the applicable program.
