LMIA-exempt work permit holders for top jobs in Canada in 2021

The foreign workers of Canada come under IMP (International Mobility Program). In 2021 IRCC (Immigrants, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) raised around 315,000 work permits through IMP. The TWFP (Temporary Foreign Worker Program) raised 104,000 work permits.

Difference between IMP and TFWP

There is a difference between IMP and TWFP, and that is related to LMIA. In the case of TFWP, employers have to show the proof of non-availability of professionals to handle an occupation. So they need to hire foreign professionals.

Inthe case of IMP, no Labour Market Impact Assessment or LMIA is necessary because it invites immigrants to meet different purposes and interests of Canada. The categories which use IMP are reciprocal employment and significant benefits.
