International Mobility Program
The International Mobility Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers on a Canada work permit without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Positions exempt from requiring an LMIA are those which:
- Provide broad economic, cultural or other competitive advantages for Canada, and
- Provide reciprocal benefits for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Workers who are eligible for the International Mobility Program (IMP) include:
- Those entering Canada as intra-company transferees-ICT.(C12)
- Canadian interests – Significant benefit – Entrepreneurs/self-employed candidates. C11
- Those entering Canada on an open work permit.
- Those entering Canada as part of trade treaties, such as the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) or the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA).
In Mehr Immigration Services Corporation, we help foreign business owners and entrepreneurs establish their business in Canada, draft a viable business plan, incorporate their Canadian enterprise, prepare appropriate documentation, and eventually obtain their work permit for themselves and their family members.
