How do I hire a temporary foreign worker using an LMIA issued by ESDC under the Global Talent Stream?
Once you receive a positive decision from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) on your Global Talent Stream (GTS) LMIA application, give a copy of the decision letter to the worker you want to hire. They must apply online and include it with their work permit application.
The worker will also need to identify themselves as part of the GTS when they complete their eligibility check.
Find out what a worker must do to identify as part of the GTS.
