Understanding the Canadian Work Permit System

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is administered by ESDC and IRCC. In many cases, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required to hire a foreign worker.

A positive LMIA confirms:

• No Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available for the position.

• The job offer is genuine.

• The employer meets compliance standards under the TFWP.

Note: Certain jobs are LMIA-exempt due to trade agreements like CUSMA (formerly NAFTA) or international mobility programs.

Work Permit Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for a Canadian work permit, applicants must:

• Prove intent to leave Canada when the permit expires.

• Demonstrate financial stability.

• Have no criminal record (police certificate may be required).

• Be in good health (medical exam may be required).

• Not work for ineligible employers or in prohibited industries.

• Not exceed the 4-year cumulative work limit (with some exceptions).
