Foreign Medical Residents — Now LMO Exempt.

Effective September 1st, 2010, universities will no longer be required to apply for a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) to hire temporary foreign medical residents, clinical fellows or research fellows. However, foreign workers in these occupations will still require a work permit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to work in Canada, including for those positions of less than four months. For more information on work permit applications, please contact the the lawyers at the Bomza Law Group.
