The IMP lets employers hire foreign workers without a Labour Market Impact Assessment when the job falls under an exemption based on international agreements, significant benefit to Canada, or reciprocal/Canadian-interest grounds.
Most employer-driven work permits in Canada normally require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to show no Canadian was available. The International Mobility Program is the set of exceptions to that rule.
A permit can be LMIA-exempt when it is supported by an international trade agreement (such as CUSMA), when the worker brings a significant economic, social, or cultural benefit to Canada, or when there is a broader Canadian interest or reciprocal-employment rationale. The specific exemption code that applies depends on your situation and the employer's offer.
