Artist & entertainer work permits
LMIA-exempt work permits for performers, musicians, film and TV crew, and touring groups coming to Canada for a specific engagement.
Most performance-related work in Canada qualifies for an exemption from the Labour Market Impact Assessment under the International Mobility Program, which means no employer recruitment record to build and, usually, faster processing than an LMIA-supported permit.
Getting the exemption right depends on how the engagement is structured, so we check the contract and the nature of the performance against the exemption categories before we build the application, not after.
