Free-trade agreements let certain professionals enter without a labour-market assessment. The passport decides which agreement applies. The duties have to match a closed occupation list.

  • CUSMA (TN). US or Mexican citizens. Closed professional list.
  • CETA, CPTPP, and the UK. Netherlands and Poland under CETA. Singapore under CPTPP. The UK under the Canada-UK TCA and CPTPP.
  • When it does not apply. If the passport is not covered, or the duties do not match a listed occupation, the next look is an LMIA or an intra-company transfer.

CUSMA / TN flat fee $4,500.

  • Global Talent Stream. Used when that program fits. Flat professional fee $6,500.
  • Work permit after. The worker’s permit still has to be filed, on any LMIA stream.
