Canada Visa: LMIA-Based Work Permit under PNPs
We help clients successfully accomplish their immigration-related objectives
Provincial Nominee Programs facilitate the entry or stay in Canada of many categories of professionals who otherwise might not qualify under the Express Entry System.
Note: if you have not found or trained a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident to fill out the labour shortage, you have to keep in mind that proper planning is necessary and apply for a new LMIA ahead of time. The temporary worker can apply for a work permit extension before the initial work permit expired, and he can continue working for your organization while awaiting a decision to be made on their application.
For the new applications for an LMIA for the high-wage positions, your transition plan must be feasible so to be credible, with realistic and verifiable implementation steps of:
• increased efforts to hire Canadians and train them in the long-term; or
• Support the high-skilled temporary foreign worker transition to becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
