Employers interested in hiring skilled foreign workers, who may already be in Canada or located overseas, can support their application for permanent residency. For foreign nationals to be eligible for this specific LMIA stream, they must qualify for one of the following economic programs under the Express Entry system:
This LMIA is used to support permanent residency application of foreign national. Here employer hires the skilled foreign national only after their immigration application is processed and permanent residency is approved. This option does not have a processing fee.
Employers can support both work permit and permanent residency applications together. This approach is known as a “dual intent LMIA.” Here, the foreign national applies for both a work permit and permanent residency simultaneously. Typically, work permit applications are processed faster than permanent residency applications, allowing the foreign national to begin employment with the Canadian employer while their permanent residency is being processed.
