Lmia exempt work permit

[ba2323]

Hi, does anyone know this.
If I get a caregiver job and I think employers are exempt from paying lmia fee for health sector jobs, when I apply for work permit, do I still need an lmia letter or just the job offer letter?
I hope this is understandable.

Are you in Canada? If so, what is your status? What NOC? Is this a caregiver for a person with high medical needs. IF so your employer doesn’t need to pay the fee. If in Canada, once you have the approved LMIA, you apply for work permit.

I am in Canada with a visitor visa. The employer still applies for the lmia but just doesn't pay the fee?

I think it's the regular caregiver, I don't know about the noc

If it is a regular caregiver (child or adult doesn’t have high medical needs, 24/7 medical care) then employer pays the fee. Assume your employer has set up a business registration for payroll, has posted the full-time job on job sites, meet income levels too. All requirements for your employer are on the IRCC website along with application.

Ok, thank you so much for replying.

Your title says LMIA exemption so just to clarify the LMIA does not fall under an exemption.

Ok, I didn't understand things, thanks for clarifying.

According to recent news, low-wage LMIA work permits will only be issued for one year starting from September 26. My friend, a religious worker, is renewing his Indian passport, which will take about a month. His current work permit expires in June 2025, and he’s thinking of applying for an extension now in September 2024. Should he apply with his old passport to get a 2 year work permit, or should he wait for his new passport? If he applies with the old passport, can he update IRCC with the new passport information during the application process, and will this affect his application? Also, will the recent LMIA changes impact LMIA-exempt work permit holders working at minimum wage, including the validity of the extension (one year vs. two years)?

My name is Aymane Ababous. I was born on May 13, 2002 in Rabat, Morocco. I obtained a high school diploma in 2021, and after that I decided to continue my studies in the agricultural field because I love this field very much, especially animal husbandry. I have loved taking care of animals since I was young and giving them everything they need. In 2023, I obtained a technical diploma specializing in agricultural enterprise management, but unfortunately I did not find many opportunities to work here in Morocco and learn more in this field. Therefore, I am ready to immigrate to work and learn new things in this field get to know new people, new traditions. "Need support in obtaining a visa" contact me on aymane.baabousse@gmai.com
