These days, Canadian employers are troubling to find the right candidate for their jobs. That’s why they look for foreign workers to help minimize the current labour shortage. Canadian employers can hire foreign workers either on a permanent or temporary basis.
Lets know how to hire a Foreign Worker
Hiring Temporary Workers
The government of Canada has launched the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and International Mobility Program (IMP). Canadian employers can hire foreign nationals temporarily through any program.
Temporary Foreign Worker Program
To hire through TFWP, the employer must get the following documents before hiring a temporary worker.
- Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from employment and
- Social Development Canada or Service Canada
LMIA confirms that the employer is unable to fill the job, which is why they need a temporary worker. Once the LMIA is issued, the employer should provide a copy of the confirmation letter to the candidate. So, they can apply for a work permit.

To hire through IMP, the employer will need to pay an employer compliance fee. Also, they have to submit an offer of employment to IRCC website through IRCC’s employer portal. The employer must do it before the candidate applies for a work permit.
Under the IMP, the employer can hire without the need for an LMIA.
Note: If the candidate has an open work permit, the employer doesn’t need to submit an offer of employment or pay the employer compliance fee.
When the employer go through the IMP process, and the candidate’s application for a work permit is approved, the employer must;
- Arrange worker’s compensation benefits and medical coverage for their stay.
- Make sure the worker has a necessary work permit
- Fulfill the conditions and time limits outlined in the worker’s work permit
- Stay engaged in the business that submitted an offer of employment

- Offers the same job as mentioned in the offer of employment
- Fulfill all federal, provincial and territorial employment laws
- Make reasonable efforts to provide a better workplace
