WORK IN CANADA
Canada offers excellent career and personal growth opportunities
For Canadian employers to hire foreign workers through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program or as a Permanent Worker, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required.
A LMIA verifies that there is a need for a foreign worker and that no Canadians can do the job.
In some circumstances you may be eligible to apply for a work permit that is exempt from LMIA.

Highly-skilled workers coming to Canada on a temporary basis are now able to benefit from two-week processing of applications for work permits and, when necessary, temporary resident visas.
