The LMIA Exempt Work Permits, under Exempt codes C10, C11, and Intra-Company Transfer (ICT)
The Canadian LMIA Exempt Work Permits are designed to facilitate the entry of foreign workers into Canada without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The LMIA exemption codes C10, C11, and Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) are some of the most commonly used codes for this purpose.
The C10 code is used when the foreign worker’s employment activities would create or maintain significant social, cultural, or economic benefits or opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
The C11 code is used for entrepreneurs or self-employed individuals seeking only temporary residence in Canada.
The ICT code facilitates the movement of key personnel within multinational corporations to Canadian branches. This initiative reflects Canada's commitment to attracting skilled professionals, fostering corporate growth, and promoting international collaboration.
Please note that these are general eligibility guidelines, and applications should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
LMIA
The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) program is a pivotal aspect of Canada's economic immigration system, requiring employers to assess the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the local labour market. Governing by Employment and Social Development Canada, the program underscores Canada's commitment to protecting domestic employment opportunities while meeting labour market needs. A positive LMIA is often a prerequisite for foreign workers to obtain work permits, emphasizing the importance of adherence to immigration laws in the employment of non-Canadians.
