Intra-company transfer
Bring executives, managers and specialized-knowledge staff from a related company abroad, without a labour market impact assessment.
For business
Bring in and keep the people your business needs
Global Compass Corporate helps Canadian employers find the right pathway for a role, prepare with a lawyer, and keep track of every work permit.
Employer pathways
Six ways we help employers
Each has its own requirements and evidence. We help you see which ones fit before you commit.
Significant benefit to Canada
An LMIA exemption when the work would bring a significant economic, social or cultural benefit, shown with objective evidence.
Free trade agreements
Agreements such as CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP let eligible professionals, transferees, traders and investors work here without an LMIA.
Labour market impact assessment
When no exemption fits, you show that hiring a foreign worker won’t hurt Canadian workers: the right stream, wage and recruitment.
Reciprocal employment
An LMIA exemption where Canadians have comparable opportunities abroad, such as through exchange agreements.
Compliance tracker
Each foreign worker’s permit type, dates and conditions in one place, with expiry dates flagged ahead of time.
How it works
From a hiring need to a clean application
Describe the role and the worker
Plain questions about your company, the job and the person. Only what matters for your goal.
Get a lawyer-backed assessment
Our rules engine checks your answers against rules our lawyers approve, and a lawyer reviews anything unusual before you see it.
Keep track of every permit
Keep every permit date and condition in one place, so nothing expires by surprise.
New on November 3, 2026
A qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation can earn Express Entry points without an LMIA. The worker still needs the right work permit, which may need one.
