International students are eligible to apply if they will soon be graduating, or are recent graduates from an eligible publicly funded Canadian college or university in a field of study related to the job offer.

The Expedited Labour Market Opinion Pilot Project was put in place to accelerate the application process to hire temporary foreign workers in certain occupations in Alberta and British Columbia.

Labour Market Opinion applications from employers who qualify to participate in the pilot will be processed within five days of Service Canada having received them when all the information requested is provided.
