The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA-Required)

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA-Required)

The Canadian government has a Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) meant to temporarily hire foreign workers in areas where no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill. Typically, these areas are in high demand and need to be filled quickly. Applying for a temporary work visa through the TFWP requires that the company receive a positive LMIA assessment.
Approved work permits can allow temporary residency for a period dependent on the proper stream. These include:
Specifics Regarding Quebec– The Quebec province has its own set of rules regarding foreign national’s ability to apply for a work visa via TFWP.
  • The LMIA assessment does not need to have proof of recruitment efforts. Despite this, it is recommended that employers continue to try recruit Canadians.
  • Facilitated LMIA (Quebec) List of Occupations- Quebec has a specific list of occupations that are both in high demand and in short supply of citizens/permanent residents. The list is updated annually.
