Hi, After some research I've found that my boyfriend may be eligible to get a temporary work permit through the International Mobility Program. He is exempt from having his employer do an LMIA .. ( Persons authorized to enter Canada under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or other FTAs parallel to the NAFTA, are authorized to enter under exemption codes T21 for Traders, T22 for Investors, T23 for Professionals and T24 for intra-company transferees.) - CIC Website.
He has the has a job offer letter, and the field (Graphic Designer) is listed under NAFTA occupations list.
After his employer submits the offer of employment through the Employer Portal and pays the Employer Compliance fee, (getting an LMIA exemption code and a file number for that offer) how long does he have to wait until he can go to a Port of Entry and Apply for this work permit?
Thanks for any tips/ info you might have.
