Temporary Resident Visa Canada

The Canadian International Mobility Program (IMP) allows employers to get employees from outside Canada without the requirement of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Intra-company transferees may apply for work permits under the general provision if they

• are currently employed by a multi-national company and seeking entry to work in a parent, a subsidiary, a branch, or an affiliate of that enterprise;
• are transferring to an enterprise that has a qualifying relationship with the enterprise in which they are currently employed, and will be undertaking employment at a legitimate and continuing establishment of that company (where 18–24 months can be used as a reasonable minimum guideline);
• are being transferred to a position in an executive, senior managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity;
• have been employed continuously (via payroll or by contract directly with the company), by the company that plans to transfer them outside Canada in a similar full-time position (not accumulated part-time) for at least one year in the three-year period immediately preceding the date of initial application.

In Canada, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows employers to get temporary workers who meet certain requirements. This program is designed to help employers fill temporary skill and labour shortages.

To get employees this way, an employer needs a go-ahead from the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada. This is called a Labour Market Impact Assessment, or simply LMIA.

The Law Office of Suma Rao is a Toronto-based immigration law office. We have been assisting employers and potential employees in filing LMIAs applications.

Visitor visas are issued to people who wish to enter Canada temporarily, as tourists, temporary foreign workers or as students. All Visitors must apply for and get this visa unless they are residents of a visa-exempt country. There are basic requirements for issuance of a visitor’s visa, like the applicant must not have a criminal record, pose a security or a health risk and should have sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay in Canada.
