Closed Work Permit (LMIA Exempt)
Home – Services – Temporary Residence – Work Permit – Closed Work Permit (LMIA Exempt)
Closed LMIA-Exempt work permits are designed for specific scenarios where a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is not required to hire a foreign worker for a particular job. Certain work permits are exempt from the LMIA process, under certain international agreements (such as NAFTA), intra-company transfers, or for individuals whose employment in Canada would bring significant cultural or economic benefits.
Eligibility Assessment
We evaluate your qualifications for a Closed LMIA-Exempt work permit under categories like intra-company transferees, international agreements, or significant benefits. We advise on the best category for your profile and job offer.
Preparation & Review
We prepare and apply a compelling work permit application, ensuring all the necessary documents like job offer letters, proof of LMIA exemption eligibility, and all other supporting documentation are included.
Work Permit Application
We then apply for the work permit and also provide regular updates on the status of the application addressing any additional queries or additional documents as requested by IRCC.
