6: Understand That Not Every Employer Needs an LMIA
Another important point is that Canadian employers can hire foreign workers through different programs.
In some situations, an LMIA may be required. In others, the job or worker may qualify under an LMIA-exempt process through Canada’s International Mobility Program.
The Canadian government provides official information explaining the different ways employers can hire foreign workers.
You can also review the official Canada.ca guide for employers hiring temporary foreign workers.
This is why you should not assume that every opportunity will use exactly the same process.
