Global Talent Stream LMIA
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program has been created to address the needs of the IT/Tech Sector and allow organizations the ability to access specialized talent worldwide. Additionally while ensuring that the specialized worker has skills that not only add to the organization and the role that they are sought for, there is a presumption that they will be imparting their skills/expertise to the Canadian workforce to further develop local skills and talent.
Employers who wish to apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to hire foreign workers positions for specialized positions fall under 2 categories under the program which is either by an endorsement from one of the designated organizations under the program or be hiring under an occupation that is listed under one of the listed occupations.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Employers must supply verification that their business and job offer are legitimate, along with a Labour Market Benefits Plan explaining how hiring the foreign worker will help the Canadian job market and strengthen the economy. Employers must be committed to providing salaries for unique and specialized positions of at least $80,000 or equivalent to the prevailing wage.
PROGRAM PRIVILEGES
The program is fairly new and allows the foreign worker to apply for a work permit within two weeks, so employers can hire foreign workers at a faster rate. This allows the worker to get started and working in a very short period of time thus meeting the needs of a very fluid/dynamic industry that requires the talent in a timely manner.
