LMIA & WORK PERMIT TO CANADA
As of the latest knowledge, understanding and the knowledge, there have been several changes occurred in the span of last 02 years post the outbreak of pandemic (Covid-19). However, we can provide you with the explanation in a layman language of how job offers without an LMIA (Labor Market Impact Assessment) typically work in the Canadian immigration system from top to bottom. LMIAs/ Work permits are the fastest routes to settle permanently in CANADA.
The Canadian government uses Express Entry to manage applications for permanent residency from skilled professionals. One of the key components of the Express Entry system is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which assigns points to candidates based on various factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more. A valid job offer can also provide additional points to your CRS score.
A job offer letter without an LMIA, also known as an LMIA-exempt job offer, can give you additional points in the Express Entry system, making you a more competitive candidate for permanent residence. An LMIA is typically required for employers to hire foreign workers in Canada, but there are certain situations where a job offer can be considered LMIA-exempt.
Some common LMIA-exempt job offers include:
- Intra-Company Transfers : If you’re currently working for a multinational company that has a Canadian branch, you might be able to transfer to the Canadian branch without the need for an LMIA.
- Significant Benefit : If your work in Canada is deemed to have a significant positive impact on the Canadian labour market or economy, you might qualify for an LMIA exemption.
- Academic Researchers : Researchers who have a job offer from a Canadian research institution may be eligible for an LMIA exemption.
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) : Some provinces have their own immigration programs that can provide nomination certificates to candidates, effectively giving them an LMIA-exempt job offer.
It’s important to note that while an LMIA-exempt job offer can provide you with additional points in the Express Entry system, it’s not the only factor that determines your eligibility or success in the application process. Your overall CRS score, as well as the cutoff scores in each Express Entry draw, will impact your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
For the most current and accurate information about Express Entry, including any changes that might have occurred since my last update, I recommend visiting the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consulting with a qualified immigration consultant or lawyer.
