A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-exempt work permit is a type of work permit that allows foreign workers to work in Canada without the need for an LMIA. Eligibility for an LMIA-exempt work permit depends on the specific category or program under which the work permit is being issued, such as the International Mobility Program or the International Experience Canada program.

Individuals who are eligible for an LMIA-exempt work permit may be able to work in Canada temporarily or obtain permanent residency, depending on the program or category. Generally, an employer must initiate the application process for an LMIA-exempt work permit on behalf of the worker.

The eligibility criteria for employers to apply for LMIA-exempt work permits depend on the specific category or program under which the work permit is being issued.
