Work in Canada

Foreign nationals may not work in Canada unless authorized. A Canadian work permit is a document that allows foreign nationals to work in Canada. There are several types of Canadian work permits. Broadly, they can be divided into two (2) categories.

There are several ways to come to Canada for work. Your nationality is a major deciding factor in how easy or difficult it is for you come to Canada and work. For example, if your country has an agreement with Canada or you use a recognized organization, you may be eligible under the International Experience Canada. Further, North American Free Trade Agreement may also be an option to explore if you qualify. Also, there are other programs such as post graduate work permit, closed work permit based on LMIA, Intra-company transfer etc.

Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

LMIA is a document that an employer may need before hiring a foreign worker in Canada. Labour Market Opinion (LMO) is an older term for the process. In short, LMIA and LMO refer to the same process.

Most importantly, a review of the application must determine that hiring a foreign national will have a positive or neutral effect on the Canadian job market. Further, the application must make it clear that no Canadian filled that position and had to offer this to a foreign national. To clarify, LMIA process varies depending on the wage of the position.

High Wage – wage above the provincial/territorial median wage is considered as the high wage.

Low Wage – wage below the median provincial/territorial wage is considered as low wage.

You can learn more about median wages for different provinces at the Employment and Social Development Canada website.
