LMIA exemption category under certain non-trade international agreements.

Key eligibility and conditions

• The work must fall under an agreement/situation recognized by IRCC.
• Correct identification of the role, organization, and legal basis.
• Verification of the requirement for a work permit rather than assuming a permit exemption.

Required documents
