These eight companies can grant LMIA-exempt work permits in Canada – and some are hiring
Eight Canadian companies participating in the Global Hypergrowth Project can grant LMIA-exempt work permits, streamlining the hiring process for skilled foreign workers.Summary
Canada's Global Hypergrowth Project allows eight companies to issue employer-specific work permits without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), simplifying the process for skilled foreign nationals. These companies – Ada Support Inc., AlayaCare, Clarius Mobile Health, Clio, Lightspeed Commerce, CellCarta, Duchesnay Pharmaceutical Group, and Vive Crop Protection – are participating in an initiative designed to help innovative companies scale up. While some, like Ada Support, AlayaCare, Clio, and Lightspeed Commerce, are actively hiring for various remote and in-office positions across Canada, others, such as CellCarta, Duchesnay, and Vive, currently have limited or no Canadian vacancies. The Innovation Stream pilot program, which enables this exemption, has been extended to March 22, 2028. Prospective applicants are advised to verify job postings on the companies’ official career pages to avoid fraudulent offers.
