International Mobility Programs

The International Mobility Program (IMP) allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers without an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). It is often referred to as an LMIA exempt work permit. There are various programs run under this stream and the common theme is that these programs benefit Canada culturally and economically.  The LMIA exemption ensures a much faster processing time than is typically associated with having to obtain an LMIA, and subsequently, a work permit.
