Global Skills Strategy – Easy Access to Global Talent
Altec Global helps Canadian employers access international talent efficiently through Canada’s Global Skills Strategy and employer-focused immigration pathways. We guide businesses through fast-track hiring options that reduce processing time and minimize administrative burden.
Work Permit Processing in as Little as 2 Weeks
Through strategic use of LMIA-exempt programs and the Global Talent Stream, eligible employers can secure work permits in as little as two weeks, allowing them to fill urgent positions quickly and stay competitive in today’s labor market.
Efficient Foreign Worker Relocation Solutions
From recruitment to arrival, we streamline the entire foreign worker process. Our team manages documentation, compliance, work permits, and transition planning—making international hiring smooth, compliant, and efficient for employers.
LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT (LMIA)
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that allows a Canadian employer to hire a foreign worker when no qualified Canadian or permanent resident is available to fill the position.
An LMIA confirms that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labour market and, in many cases, is required before a work permit can be issued.
Why Employers Need an LMIA
Most closed (employer-specific) work permits require an approved LMIA. This means the foreign worker can only work for the employer listed on the permit, in a specific role and location.
Employers typically need an LMIA to:
- Fill long-term or specialized positions
- Address labour shortages
- Support permanent residence applications
- Hire workers outside LMIA-exempt programs
Employer Obligations For Lmia-Exempt Work Permits
With limited exceptions, employers offering positions under LMIA-exempt work permit categories must meet certain compliance requirements under Canadian immigration regulations.
These obligations generally include submitting the employment offer through the IRCC Employer Portal and paying the applicable employer compliance fee. Completing these steps is required to support the foreign national’s work permit application and to confirm the employer’s compliance with program requirements.
GLOBAL TALENT STREAM (GTS)
The Global Talent Stream is Canada’s fast-track work permit pathway designed to help innovative companies bring in highly skilled international talent quickly and efficiently. As part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, it lets eligible employers hire specialized workers in in-demand occupations with expedited processing—often within two weeks of application. GTS supports business growth and competitiveness by matching Canadian labour market needs with global expertise, particularly in tech, engineering, and innovation-based sectors.
Why Choose the Global Talent Stream (GTS)
- 10‑day service standard for LMIA processing
- Expedited work permit processing
- Allows hiring of highly skilled workers in IT and STEM occupations
- Designed to support innovation and economic growth
- Requires employer to develop a Labour Market Benefits Plan
Eligibility
Employers must be referred by an approved partner or hiring for an occupation on the Global Talent Occupations List. Workers need specialized skills and may require education and experience relevant to the position.
