"text": "Employers want to lure the choicest talent to serve their companies and want a quick and obvious process for doing it. To aid employers to find these talented workers more rapidly, we launched the Global Skills Strategy (GSS). The approach features quicker processing times for applications, work permit waivers, and offers better service to customers.

International applicants who are qualified for prioritized processing need to still fulfil all other requirements for eligibility and acceptability, which include providing police clearance certificates if necessary. Applicants who are eligible need to submit all essential documents with their application. If they fail to submit the necessary documents, they will not be eligible for the two-week processing time."

Situation one

Your employer holds from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) a positive Global Talent Stream (GTS) (Category A or B) Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for your job.
If you are in such a situation, you need to indicate to us you are applying to utilize a GTS LMIA once you finish your eligibility check. If not, we will not acknowledge you as a GSS applicant.

Situation two

You should:
Have a job offer from an employer who is excused from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process
Have a job that is skill level A (professional) or skill type 0 (managerial, executive) or

"text": "A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that a Canadian employer must get before recruiting an international worker.

A positive LMIA will indicate that a foreign worker is required to fill the position. It will also point out that there is no worker or permanent resident in Canada to do the job. A positive LMIA can, in certain cases, be considered a confirmation letter.
Employers who need an LMIA have to apply for one.
Once the LMIA is obtained by an employer, the worker is allowed to apply for a work permit.
To be eligible to apply for a work permit, a worker must get:

A job offer letter
A contract
A copy of the LMIA, and
The LMIA number"

Workers are qualified for Global Talent Stream’s Category A if they have been referred to it by one of the designated partners of the Stream if they are recruiting an individual with niche talent.

Do remember that if an occupation applied for is included on the Global Talent Occupations List, it will undergo a Category B application processing and would need to be fulfilling Category B requirements.

You may qualify for the Global Talent Stream’s Category B if you are looking to recruit proficient foreign workers to plug vacancies in in-demand occupations that are listed on the Global Talent Occupations List. Eligibility for Category B would not need a referral.

Processing fee
You need to pay CAD1,000 for each position applied for under the Global Talent Stream to compensate for the expenses of processing your application."
