SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete LMIA-exempt employer-specific work permit?

Coordinate the employer’s International Mobility Program offer and exemption record with the worker’s own employer-specific work-permit application. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   The employer uses the current International Mobility Program instructions to identify the exact exemption code and any special program requirements for the proposed work.

2. 2

   Where required, the employer enters the factual offer in the Employer Portal, pays the employer compliance fee directly and retains the submitted offer details.

3. 3

   The employer gives the worker the official offer-of-employment number and the same written terms used in the portal without sharing portal credentials.

4. 4

   In the worker’s own IRCC account, open the current employer-specific permit checklist and prepare passport, status, qualifications, offer number, job and exemption-support records.

5. 5

   The worker completes the official application, uploads the current records, pays IRCC directly and retains the submission, biometrics and additional-request records.

6. 6

   When IRCC decides the application, compare the issued employer, occupation, work location and expiry conditions with the offer and report any error through the official process.
