IEC Young Professionals swiss

[mhumphrey]

Hi all,

I'm from Switzerland, currently in Canada BC with a study permit, in the VFX industry. I got a job offer and as I am eligible for IEC Young Professionals, I'd like to apply for a work permit.

My CIC application has a list of documents that mentions IMM5802 as an "optional" document. I wanted to fill it in, but here is what happens: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1266&top=17

My questions:
- Does an IEC Young Professionals work permit require an LMIA ?
- If this document is "optional", do I need to worry about it ?
- Does my employer need to deal with this whole "employer portal" thing in order for me to get the permit ?

Thanks for your precious time.

Cheers,

Martin

Do not think an employer has any option but to go through the employer portal to pay the fee and register any job offer

LMIA is not required with an IEC/YP

That helped.

Thank you for your answers.

As an IEC-YP worker I can confirm an LMIA is not required, and the employer does need to create the job offer through the portal (and pay a fee).
