Frequently Asked Questions

What programs support hiring a foreign worker in Canada?

Canada offers several programs that allow employers to hire temporary or permanent foreign workers. The choice depends on the job, the worker’s background, and the intended duration of employment.

Main programs to hire a foreign worker in Canada:

  • Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP): Generally requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
  • International Mobility Program (IMP): Allows hiring without an LMIA under certain exemptions like trade agreements, intra-company transfers, or youth exchanges.
  • International Experience Canada (IEC): Enables hiring of foreign youth (18–35) for temporary work (Working Holiday, Young Professionals, Internships).
  • Global Talent Stream: A TFWP sub-stream for highly skilled workers with expedited processing.
  • Economic immigration programs: Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), or the Atlantic Immigration Program for long-term hiring.

Each program has specific requirements. For expert advice, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.
