Canada has made an announcement about the simplification of processes for hiring foreign nationals in certain provinces.
Canada facilitates immigration and work procedures for foreigners in the province of Quebec.
In the province of Quebec, Canada makes the immigration and employment processes easier for people who are not Canadian citizens.
Within the context of immigration to Canada, the province of Quebec stands out as a singular entity. As a result of the fact that the federal government has provided Quebec with a substantially greater degree of autonomy in comparison to other provinces in terms of their immigration policies and procedures, Quebec's immigration programs are frequently handled in a manner that is distinct from that of the additional provinces. One of the reasons for this is that the province has a few different differences when it comes to the hiring of personnel from other countries. To be more specific, Quebec's assisted LMIA process makes it possible to simplify the process of employing workers from other countries.
The province of Quebec exempts applicants from the LMIA requirements for employing foreigners.
The Labour Market Information Act (LMIA) criteria for hiring foreign workers are waived for applicants in the province of Quebec.
An application for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) must include evidence that the employer has advertised the job to Canadians and made efforts to recruit a Canadian for the post. This requirement applies to all provinces other than Quebec. As a result of the streamlined LMIA process, employers in Quebec are able to submit applications for LMIAs without being required to present evidence that they have made efforts to find a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the post.
