C20 Reciprocal Employment Work Permit

Does your company have employees overseas that are Canadian? Are you looking to get sponsored for a work permit in Canada?

C20 Reciprocal Employment Work Permit allows foreign workers to take up employment in Canada when Canadians have similar reciprocal opportunities abroad.

To qualify for a work permit under the reciprocal benefit category, an employer or prospective employer in Canada must demonstrate that it provides similar employment opportunities abroad for its Canadian employees. An employer or prospective employer in Canada is expected to provide documents proving the reciprocity exists.

If qualified, the employer or prospective employer will not be required to apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Nonetheless, their employer or prospective employer will be required to file an offer of employment with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (Immigration Canada) and pay the employer compliance fee before the foreign national can apply for a work permit under this category.
