International Mobility Program
Facilitate international business activities and talent mobility with streamlined work permit processes.
What is the IMP?
The International Mobility Program (IMP) provides work permits to foreign nationals who want to work in Canada without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The program supports international business activities, talent mobility, and research collaborations.
IMP work permits are often faster to obtain than traditional LMIA-based permits and support Canada's economic and research objectives. The program includes various streams for different types of international activities.
We specialize in IMP applications, helping businesses and individuals navigate the program requirements and secure the appropriate work permits for their international activities.
