Start Working in Canada Through LMIA, LMIA-Exempt, or Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Pathways
A Canadian Work Permit is a legal authorization issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to work for a Canadian employer for a specific duration and under defined terms.
Whether you’re being transferred within your company, hired by a Canadian employer, or working in a reciprocal international arrangement, a work permit is your gateway to working and living in Canada – and often a pathway to Permanent Residency (PR).
There are two primary types of Canadian work permits:
✅ Employer-Specific Work Permits (also called “closed work permits”)
✅ Open Work Permits (available in limited cases like spouses of skilled workers or international students)
This stream allows multinational companies to transfer key employees (executives, managers, or specialized knowledge workers) to their Canadian branch or affiliate — without an LMIA.
Ideal For:
✅ Executives and senior managers
✅ Employees with specialized knowledge
✅ International corporations setting up Canadian operations
Under this route, a Canadian employer must obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
An LMIA confirms that there is no Canadian citizen or PR available for the role, and hiring a foreign worker is justified.
Ideal For:
✅ Skilled foreign workers in high-demand occupations
✅ Employers offering permanent or temporary roles requiring foreign talent
Certain work permits are exempt from the LMIA process under international agreements or Canadian interests, such as:
✅ Significant benefit to Canada (C10)
✅ Intra-company transfers (C12)
✅ Reciprocal employment (e.g., NAFTA/USMCA)
✅ Spouses of skilled workers or students
Ideal For:
✅ Professionals working in multinational companies
✅ Spouses of temporary residents
✅ Entrepreneurs and executives under specialized exemptions
