International Mobility Program

Streamlining the Hiring Process with the Employer Portal

The Employer Portal is an essential tool provided by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows Canadian employers to manage their compliance obligations when hiring temporary foreign workers under the International Mobility Program (IMP). This secure online platform simplifies the process of submitting offers of employment and meeting reporting requirements, making it easier for employers to hire international talent.

Understanding the Employer Portal

The Employer Portal is designed to facilitate the hiring process by allowing employers to submit offers of employment directly to IRCC for workers who are exempt from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process. This is a crucial step in ensuring compliance with Canadian immigration regulations and helps streamline the overall process of hiring foreign workers.

Key Features of the Employer Portal

• Submitting Offers of Employment: Employers can submit the necessary offer of employment forms through the portal, which are then linked to the foreign worker’s work permit application. This process ensures that the job offer meets all regulatory requirements under the International Mobility Program.
• Compliance with Reporting Requirements: The portal allows employers to meet their legal obligations by providing information about the job offer, the conditions of employment, and the wages and working conditions being offered to the foreign worker.
• Tracking and Managing Applications: Employers can use the portal to track the status of the offers of employment they have submitted, making it easier to manage multiple applications and ensure timely compliance with immigration requirements.
• Updating Employer Information: The portal also provides the functionality for employers to update their business information as needed, ensuring that all records remain current and accurate.
