Employers looking to employ individuals in Canada primarily do so through
the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. In order to be granted a visa in
this category an individual must secure a job with a Canadian employer.
In almost all cases, the employer will need to obtain a Labor Market Impact
Assessment (LMIA). An LMIA is an assessment from Economic and Social Development
Canada (ESDC) which shows whether there are available Canadian citizens
available for the job, or if there is a need for a foreign worker for
the position. There are additional requirements including relevant education
and employment experience. These visas generally have a 4-year limit to
the validity of the visa.
