About the Service
This work permit, which is exempt from a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), facilitates the hiring of Francophone or bilingual foreign nationals outside Quebec. Applicants must have a valid job offer in a National Occupational Classification (NOC) FEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupation and demonstrate that French is their primary language of daily use. This permit supports Canada's objective of strengthening Francophone communities outside Quebec.
Why choose this service?
Canadian employers who hire foreign workers must prove that they operate a legitimate business in good standing, that they are able to pay the offered wage, that they will provide the promised working conditions, and that they will keep accurate records for inspection.
These obligations apply to all hiring programs, whether they are based on an LMIA or are exempt. However, they do not apply when the employer hires a person who already holds an open work permit, such as a post-graduation work permit, a spousal open work permit, an International Experience Canada Working Holiday permit, or a bridging open work permit.
