C10 Significant Benefit Work Permit

C10 Work Permit – International Mobility Program

The C10 Work Permit under the International Mobility Program allows foreign nationals to work in Canada without a Labour Market Impact Assessment when their employment is expected to bring significant economic, social, or cultural benefits to Canada or Canadian residents.

Key points for the 2025 C10 Work Permit:

  • The applicant must show how their work or business activity will provide significant benefits to Canada in economic, social, or cultural terms.
  • There is no set minimum investment or net worth requirement, but the applicant must justify that their involvement is meaningful and beneficial.
  • A detailed business or proposal plan is required to explain and demonstrate these benefits.
  • The work permit is typically valid for up to 2 years and may be renewed based on business performance.

If you believe your work or business proposal may qualify under the C10 Work Permit program, Sharp can assist in preparing a business plan that clearly illustrates the significant benefits to Canada.
