LMIA-Exempt Work Permit: Work in Canada Without the LMIA Hassle
Not every job offer in Canada requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). With an LMIA-Exempt Work Permit, eligible foreign nationals can work in Canada without needing the employer to prove that no Canadian can fill the role. At First Sense Consultant, we specialize in identifying LMIA-exempt opportunities and guiding you through a smooth and successful application process.
What is an LMIA-Exempt Work Permit?
An LMIA-Exempt Work Permit allows foreign workers to work in Canada under specific categories where the Canadian government has waived the LMIA requirement due to broader economic, cultural, or social benefits.
This means faster processing, fewer employer obligations, and more opportunities for qualified applicants.
Common LMIA-Exempt Categories Include:
International Agreements
(e.g., CUSMA/USMCA, GATS, CPTPP – professionals, intra-company transferees, investors)Significant Benefit to Canada
(e.g., entrepreneurs, highly skilled talent, tech workers, cultural professionals)Reciprocal Employment
(e.g., international exchange programs, foreign professors)Charitable or Religious Work
