The International Mobility Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers on a Canada work permit without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

Positions exempt from requiring an LMIA are those that provide broad economic, cultural, or other competitive advantages for Canada and reciprocal benefits for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

There are many reasons why the government might take longer than usual. One of them might be because of the high number of applications they are attempting to handle. Unfortunately, if an important key in the application is forgotten, it can be returned in full. In other cases, where information is provided incorrectly, IRCC may request the applicant to resend a corrected document or provide additional information. Either of these cases will cause a delay in the application as the immigration officer will need these errors amended before the application can continue.

In the event of an undue processing delay, and as a last resort, one can request an Order of Mandamus from the Federal Court to compel the IRCC to decide the case. Before doing so, the applicant must exhaust all other options of following up with IRCC after the expected processing time has passed.

The TRV is a document issued by a Canadian Immigration Visa Office outside Canada, showing that the holder has satisfied the requirements for admission to Canada as a visitor. TRVs may be for single entry or multiple entry. As a rule, tourists are admitted for six months. Temporary foreign workers and international students are admitted for varying periods, as determined on a case-by-case basis. Extensions may be applied for from within Canada.

It is important to note that possessing a valid TRV does not necessarily mean that the Canadian Port of Entry officer will admit the visitor into Canada. At the Port of Entry, all visitors must demonstrate that the purpose of their visit to Canada is temporary. Officers at the Port of Entry will deny admission to all persons who, in their opinion, do not intend to leave Canada at the expiry of their visitor status.

Writing a study plan is one of the essential parts of preparing a Study Permit application—more than merely a requirement. A study plan gives a visa officer a brief overview of why the applicant wants to study in Canada and how studying in Canada aligns with their future objectives.

With friendly communities, a reasonable cost of living, plenty of jobs, and more sunshine each year than any other Canadian province, Saskatchewan is a top-rated destination for new Canadians to settle.

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident can do the job.

An LMIA is also essentially a protectionist measure that has been put in place to defend the labour rights of Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada from foreign competition.
