Hiring & permits

Bring talent in,on a timeline you can promise.

LMIA or LMIA-exempt

Two doors to a work permit,and most hires can skip the long one.

An LMIA proves, through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, that no Canadian was available for the role, and it runs into months. The International Mobility Program (the LMIA-exempt categories under R204 to R208) skips that step for people who qualify. Walk these in order. The first one that fits is your route.

01

Is the worker a US or Mexican citizen in a listed professional occupation?

CUSMA covers it, LMIA-exempt. See the CUSMA route

02

Are you moving an executive, senior manager or specialized-knowledge employee who spent a year at a related company abroad?

Intra-Company Transfer, LMIA-exempt. See the transfer route

03

Is the worker French-speaking, for a skilled role outside Quebec?

Francophone Mobility, LMIA-exempt for TEER 0 to 3 positions. See the Francophone route

04

Is it a high-skill tech role, or do you have a referral from a designated partner?

Global Talent Stream. Not LMIA-exempt, but processing runs about two weeks. See the GTS route

05

None of the above?

An LMIA under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, with recruitment evidence and a wage at or above the local median. See the LMIA route

Why Bordrs

A case desk,not a mailbox.

01

One view of every case

Each candidate's permit, status, expiry and next deadline in a single dashboard.

02

Files checked before filing

Offers, wages and supporting evidence reconciled against the program rules, flagged before submission.

03

Licensed review

An RCIC signs off on every file. On the Counsel tier, licensed counsel provides legal advice.

Inspection-ready by default

The paperwork outlasts the hire,so we keep it ready for six years.

ESDC and IRCC can inspect an employer for up to six years after a worker's first authorized day. We open a record the moment they start and keep it complete, so an inspection is a non-event rather than a scramble.

Record

Worker, wage and NOC on file

Each worker's name, offered wage and occupation code sit against the offer, alongside the work location and any LMIA number, the exact set an officer asks for.

Retention

The clock starts on day one

The six-year retention window counts from the first day of authorized employment, not the day the file was opened, so the deadline stays right even for workers who started before you moved onto Bordrs.

Obligations

Every duty named, not implied

The wage you committed to, the role, the location and the records you must keep are listed in plain language, so nothing about your obligations is a surprise at inspection time.

Readiness

Expiring files surface first

A live view flags any record within ninety days of the end of its retention window, soonest first, so you clear the urgent files before an officer ever asks.

Based on the ESDC and IRCC employer compliance regime current as of July 2026. Retention periods and obligations change. Confirm the current rules on canada.ca.
