Authorization To Work Without A Work Permit – International Mobility Program (IMP)
The IMP or International Mobility Program of Canada provides employers with the chance to hire employees from outside on a momentary work permit to work as laborers without an LMIA or Labour Market Impact Assessment. This opportunity is advantageous to employers as the process of hiring is quick and straightforward.
By
the International Mobility Program of Canada, various cultural and economic
interests of the country are served. Some of the popular forms to which IMP
caters are:
- a. County-specific agreements
- b. Reciprocal youth exchange agreements
- c. Allowing international students who studied in Canada an opportunity to work
- d. Circumstances that are culturally or socially advantageous to Canada
If employers hire workers under any of the IMP streams, they need to build up a login and then submit the worker’s employment offer. The employer should not miss out on the essential points to provide the necessary information, talk about the business, and jot down the work’s primary activities in detail and information about the employment. Once the employment offer is submitted, the employer will get an ID. This ID number will later complete the application for the work permit. After approval, the worker will be given a work permit when he enters Canada.
