International Mobility Program Plus
The International Mobility Program (IMP) Plus is a Canadian immigration program that facilitates the entry of foreign workers with specialized skills and knowledge into Canada. The program aims to support Canadian employers by allowing them to hire international talent to fill skills shortages and bring new ideas and perspectives to their workforce.
To apply for the IMP Plus program, Canadian employers must first apply to become designated employers under the program. Once designated, employers can hire foreign workers who meet the requirements of the GTS or the IMWP.
Foreign workers who are interested in the program must have a job offer from a designated employer in Canada and meet the requirements for the specific stream they are applying under. The application process may vary depending on the stream but generally includes submitting an application for a work permit and providing supporting documents, such as proof of education and work experience.
It’s important to carefully review the eligibility requirements and application process for the IMP Plus program to ensure that you meet the criteria and provide a complete and accurate application. You may also want to seek the assistance of an immigration lawyer or consultant to help with your application.
The first step in the process is for the Canadian employer to apply for designation under the program. To become a designated employer, the employer must meet certain requirements, such as having a history of compliance with immigration and employment laws and demonstrating a need for specialized talent.
Once a Canadian employer has been designated, they can offer a job to a foreign worker who meets the requirements of the program.
The foreign worker must then apply for a work permit to enter Canada. The application process may vary depending on the specific stream under which they are applying but generally includes submitting an application for a work permit and providing supporting documents, such as proof of education and work experience.
If the application is approved, the foreign worker will be issued a work permit and can travel to Canada to begin their employment.
