What is the employer compliance fee? How do I pay it?

The employer compliance fee is a fee that employers must pay to hire a temporary worker through the International Mobility Program (IMP).

You don’t need to pay the employer compliance fee if you hire a worker:

• with a valid open work permit or
• through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

To pay, create an account in the Employer Portal and submit an offer of employment.
