Canceling the special privilege of obtaining a work permit for owner-operators. People who receive a work visa as an owner-operator must go through the usual process of obtaining a work permit from April 2021. This type of work visa for buying or establishing a business was famous because it did not require a job advertisement to get a letter of impact on the labor market (LMIA) and the owner was not required to create employment.
A similar case is the use of the exemption of the IMP-C11 code, which already exists in the regulations related to the employment of foreign labor, and according to which entrepreneurs or self-employed people are exempt from obtaining LMIA. Buying or starting a business and work in Canada can be a way to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
