LMIA-exempt work permit (International Mobility Program): summary
The International Mobility Program (IMP) covers work permits that do not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment. Common routes are intra-company transfers, free trade agreement professionals, significant benefit and Francophone Mobility. The employer pays a CAD 230 compliance fee and submits the job offer through IRCC's Employer Portal, then the worker applies.
The process in brief: Confirm the exemption code → Pay the fee and submit the offer → Worker applies for the work permit → Arrive in Canada → Meet conditions after hiring.
