Benefits for Workers and Businesses
Benefits for Workers and Businesses
One of the most notable aspects of these treaties is the simplification of the labor mobility process. For certain occupations, foreign workers can enter Canada without the need to obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This exemption applies to highly skilled professionals and specific occupational categories that are essential for the country’s economic and technological development.
