On November 17, 2022, the Government of Canada updated instructions for labour market impact assessment (LMIA) exempt work permits issued under the Federal-Provincial Agreements – International Mobility Program. According to the new changes, the work permit duration for provincial nominee program (PNP) candidates has been extended from 2 to 3 years. This extension aims to reduce the burden on workers, employers, and processing officers. The government also made changes to the IMP web pages, making the landing pages more readable.
