Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA)

Employers who wish to hire foreign workers may need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that no Canadian worker is available for the position. Our experts assist employers through the entire LMIA process — from application preparation and documentation to submission and follow-up — ensuring full compliance with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) requirements.

LMIA-Exempt Work Permits

Not all work permits require an LMIA. Certain categories — such as intra-company transferees, individuals under international agreements (like CUSMA or CETA), and charitable workers — may qualify for LMIA-exempt work permits. We identify the right exemption category and handle all documentation to get your permit approved faster and with less complexity.

Employer Compliance

Canadian employers hiring foreign workers have specific obligations under immigration law. We provide detailed guidance and support to ensure full employer compliance, including record-keeping, wage standards, and reporting requirements. Our team helps you avoid penalties and maintain good standing with immigration authorities.

Business Visitors and Work Permit Exemptions

Certain business activities in Canada do not require a work permit. If you are visiting for meetings, conferences, training, or short-term business assignments, we help you determine whether you qualify as a business visitor and prepare the required documentation to ensure smooth entry at the border.

Open Work Permits

An Open Work Permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada without a specific job offer. Whether you are a spouse of a skilled worker or international student, a graduate under a post-graduation work permit, or in another eligible category, we help you apply with confidence and maximize your work opportunities in Canada.

Work Permit Extensions

If your current work permit is expiring, we can help you apply for an extension to maintain your legal status in Canada. Our consultants ensure all paperwork is submitted accurately and on time so you can continue working without interruption.
