There are six Canadian technology companies actively hiring for LMIA-exempt positions for temporary foreign nationals.
In Canada, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that employers may need to secure before recruiting a foreign worker. A positive LMIA demonstrates that the role requires a foreign worker and verifies that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fulfill the position.
On the other hand, an LMIA-exempt work permit refers to a situation in which it is not necessary for a Canadian employer to obtain an LMIA in order to hire a temporary foreign worker.
