Global Mobility Category (GMC) for U.S. Citizens Working in Canada

The Global Mobility Category (GMC) is designed for LMIA-exempt work permits that bring significant social, cultural, or economic benefits to Canada.

Common GMC Pathways

  • Intra-Company Transfers (ICTs): Transfers of executives, senior managers, or specialized knowledge workers.
  • Reciprocal Employment: Exchange opportunities where Canadians are employed abroad in return for allowing foreign workers into Canada.
  • Significant Benefit Work Permits: Granted when the applicant’s presence benefits Canada (e.g., world-class athletes, cultural performers, or individuals with specialized expertise).
  • Youth and International Mobility Programs: Includes cultural exchange or youth work permits.

Why GMC Matters for U.S. Citizens

  • LMIA-exempt No employer labour market test.
  • Broad range of professional and cultural opportunities.
  • Can be stepping-stone to permanent residency if long-term employment follows.
