The government of Quebec has expanded the list of occupations for which employers do not need to advertise an open position before hiring a foreign worker.
Canadian employers hiring temporary foreign workers typically must advertise an open position in multiple places before an application for an application for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) may be submitted. However, this requirement is waived for employers in Quebec hiring for certain positions.
This simplified process is known as a ‘facilitated’ LMIA.
Employers applying under the facilitated LMIA process are not required to provide proof of recruitment efforts. These efforts would entail advertising the job for at least 28 days, interviewing candidates who fulfil the position requirements, and proving to the government of Canada that there is no Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is ready, willing, and able to be hired for the position, necessitating the hiring of a foreign worker.
The latest update to the list of facilitated occupations was revealed on February 24, and the new list came into effect immediately. A transitional period of 30 days is granted to the employer or his/her representative to allow for the examination of an application submitted according to the previous year’s list.
Although most of the occupations that were on the previous list are also on the new list, 16 new occupations have been added.
The government of Quebec requires that a temporary foreign worker who comes to a job on this list has at least a general education certificate equivalent to a high school diploma (DES) or equivalent. In addition, in jobs where a higher level of education is usually required, the candidate must meet the requirements of the position.
It should also be noted that the list concerns the hiring of workers, not business owners.

I wonder if the trade CNP 6342 (seamstress /dressmaker) is governed by a body regulatory body,in Quebec.
So I could start to work fast once I get an CSQ and a Temporary Work Permit.
I understand that an employer still will have to get LMAI to offer me a work temporary contract under this type of job ?
Rosa Suter Mata says
