On January 30, 2023, the Government of Canada introduced a new program delivery update for the International Mobility Program (IMP). The government reformatted instructions regarding the labour market impact assessment (LMIA) exemptions under work designated as per paragraph R205(c)(ii) – administrative codes C41, C42, C43, C44 and C45. In addition, the government included dependent children of primary applicants as family members in addition to spouses and common-law partners. Furthermore, new administrative codes have been added for dependent children of high-skilled workers, family members of low-skilled workers and economic PR applicants, and academic award recipients.
