How do I hire a candidate through Destination Canada for a temporary or permanent position?

The Destination Canada Mobility Forum gives you access to a pool of skilled candidates from around the world. You need to register in advance.

Hiring a temporary worker

To hire workers temporarily, you need to either

• get a labour market impact assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada
• submit an offer of employment to IRCC

Many candidates in the forum may be eligible for LMIA exemptions, such as Mobilité Francophone.

Hiring a permanent worker

To hire workers permanently, you can make a job offer to an Express Entry candidate. This increases a candidate’s chances of being invited to apply for permanent residence.

There are other options to hire workers under the

• Provincial Nominee Program (non-Express Entry option)
• Atlantic Immigration Program
• Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot
