Canada's government has introduced a specific work permit category known as the Owner Operator LMIA, allowing most company owners to secure a Canadian work permit. Many business individuals globally view Canada as an attractive option due to its favourable economic conditions, strong work ethic, and diverse population. The Owner-Operator program aims to offer a secure pathway for international businesspeople to enter Canada and manage their businesses.

This program is for foreign individuals who want to buy a controlling stake in a business and actively manage its operations. Instead of advertising the position, they can get a positive LMIA by showing, through a detailed business plan, that their involvement will benefit the business and the labour market overall.

The LMIA Owner Operator business plan is crucial for this application. It must demonstrate how the business will positively impact the economy and prove that the candidate is capable of successfully running the business.
