Temporary workers

If you need to come and work temporarily in Canada, we can assist you in the process of obtaining a work permit or an authorization to work without a permit in one of the following programs:

  • Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). Employers must obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in order to hire foreign workers to address temporary labor and skill shortages.
  • International Mobility Program (IMP). The IMP, such as the Mobilité Francophone programallows employers to hire temporary workers without an LMIA.
