New Changes To LMIA Exemption Codes And Eligible Occupations For Employers

As need for top talent continues to grow, Canada is working to ensure its immigration programs help companies access the highly skilled talent they need by making changes to LMIA exemption codes and eligible occupations.

Background

Recently, the Government of Canada has made changes to the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exemption codes for employers and foreign nationals applying for work permits under the International Mobility Program (IMP). It has also expanded the list of eligible occupations under the Global Talent Stream, forming part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), which addresses short-term skills and labour shortages.
