Introduction
In a significant shift toward global trade diversification and economic partnership expansion, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has launched public consultations for free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations with India, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Mercosur bloc (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay). The consultations, which closed on January 27, 2026, signal Canada’s strong intent to remove barriers to temporary entry for business persons, explicitly including work authorization, investment facilitation, and professional mobility — potentially creating new LMIA-exempt work permit pathways similar to existing trade agreements like CUSMA, CETA, and CPTPP.
At VG Immigration Services Inc., we’ve been closely monitoring these developments for our Toronto-area clients from India, Brazil, Thailand, and the UAE who are exploring Canadian work opportunities. While these trade agreements are still in negotiation stages and no concrete work permit categories have been finalized, the government’s consultation documents provide clear signals about Canada’s priorities: reducing Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) requirements, eliminating numerical restrictions (quotas), and facilitating easier temporary entry for skilled professionals, investors, and intra-company transferees from these key economic partners.
This comprehensive guide analyzes what the consultation documents reveal about potential LMIA-exempt work permit frameworks for workers from India, Thailand, UAE, and Mercosur countries; compares these emerging pathways to existing trade agreement work permits (CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP); explains the current barriers these negotiations aim to address; and provides strategic advice for prospective applicants positioning themselves for these future opportunities.

Why Canada is Negotiating These Trade Agreements Now
Economic Diversification and US Trade Uncertainty
Prime Minister Carney’s trade agenda reflects Canada’s strategic pivot toward reducing reliance on the United States as its dominant trade partner. With ongoing trade tensions, tariff uncertainties, and geopolitical volatility affecting Canada-US relations, the government is actively pursuing bilateral and regional free trade agreements with high-growth economies in Asia, the Middle East, and South America to diversify export markets and secure stable economic partnerships.
Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu’s Priority Countries:
- India (1.4 billion population; rapidly growing tech and professional services sectors)
- Thailand (ASEAN member; manufacturing and services hub)
- UAE (Middle East financial center; logistics and business hub)
- Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay; 300+ million consumer market)
- Future targets: Philippines, Saudi Arabia
Labour Market Needs and Talent Shortages
Canada faces persistent labour shortages in key sectors:
- Technology and software development
- Healthcare (physicians, nurses, allied health)
- Engineering and construction
- Financial services and accounting
- Skilled trades
Current LMIA-based work permit processes are slow (3-6 months), expensive ($1,000+ employer fees), and administratively burdensome, creating barriers for Canadian employers seeking to hire international talent quickly. Trade agreement work permits — like the existing CUSMA framework for US/Mexico citizens — eliminate these barriers by providing LMIA exemptions based on citizenship and pre-approved occupation categories.
By negotiating similar frameworks with India, Thailand, UAE, and Mercosur, Canada aims to:
✅ Expedite skilled worker entry (2-4 week processing vs. 3-6 months)
✅ Reduce employer costs (eliminate $1,000 LMIA fees)
✅ Attract high-value professionals, investors, and entrepreneurs
✅ Strengthen bilateral trade and investment flows
Canada’s Track Record: Successful LMIA-Exempt Frameworks
Canada already operates multiple LMIA-exempt work permit categories under existing trade agreements:
Current Trade Agreement Work Permits:
These existing frameworks demonstrate Canada’s commitment to reducing work permit friction for strategic trade partners, and the India/Thailand/UAE/Mercosur consultations suggest similar models are under consideration.
What the Consultation Documents Reveal: Key Themes
All four consultation documents (India, Thailand, UAE, Mercosur) share common language and priorities, with subtle differences reflecting each partner’s unique economic relationship with Canada.
Theme 1: “Temporary Entry of Business Persons” for Work, Investment, and Business Activities
Consultation Language (India, UAE, Mercosur):
“Interests related to the temporary entry of business persons for the purpose of business activities, investment, or work, including economic sectors or activities where improved mobility could support trade and investment, and barriers that make this movement more difficult, such as labour market or economic needs tests, numerical restrictions (e.g., quotas or proportionality requirements), or other limitations.”
Thailand Consultation (Most Explicit on Work Permits):
“Temporary entry of businesspersons from Canada into Thailand and from Thailand into Canada, including impediments to obtain a work permit to work in the other market on a temporary basis, such as the application of economic needs tests or numerical restrictions.”
What This Means:
✅ “Business persons” = broad category likely including professionals, skilled workers, investors, entrepreneurs, intra-company transferees (similar to CUSMA/CETA models)
✅ “Work” explicitly included = work permit provisions are central, not peripheral, to negotiations
✅ “Labour market or economic needs tests” = direct reference to LMIA requirements Canada wants to reduce/eliminate
✅ “Numerical restrictions” = quotas or caps on work permits that negotiations aim to remove
Implication: Canada is signaling openness to creating LMIA-exempt work permit categories for citizens of India, Thailand, UAE, and Mercosur countries, likely modeled on CUSMA/CETA frameworks with pre-approved occupation lists, investor pathways, and ICT provisions.
Theme 2: Identifying Barriers to Temporary Entry
The consultations explicitly name two major friction points Canada wants to address:
Barrier 1: Labour Market/Economic Needs Tests (LMIA)
Current LMIA requirements for standard work permits:
- Employer must prove no qualified Canadians/PRs available for position
- Mandatory 4+ weeks recruitment advertising (Job Bank, national/provincial ads)
- Prevailing wage verification (must meet/exceed median wage for occupation/region)
- $1,000 application fee paid by employer
- Processing time: 3-6 months (often longer for complex cases)
- Approval not guaranteed (ESDC discretion on labour market assessment)
What Trade Agreements Could Change:
- LMIA exemption for pre-approved occupation categories (like CUSMA’s 63 professions, CETA’s independent professionals)
- Citizenship-based eligibility rather than labour market testing
- Faster processing (2-4 weeks vs. 3-6 months)
- Lower costs ($155 work permit fee + $230 employer compliance vs. $1,000+ LMIA)
Barrier 2: Numerical Restrictions (Quotas)
Some sectors or programs impose caps on foreign worker entry:
- Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) limits for certain low-wage positions
- Provincial nominee caps restricting nomination allocations
- Employer-specific quotas in some industries
What Trade Agreements Could Change:
- No quotas for treaty-eligible workers (unlimited entries based on eligibility)
- Predictable access without annual allocation uncertainty
- Two-way reciprocity (Canadian workers also gain access to partner countries)
Theme 3: Sector-Specific Mobility Improvements
India and UAE consultations specifically invite input on “economic sectors or activities where improved mobility could support trade and investment.”
Likely High-Priority Sectors:
Based on Canada’s labour shortages and trade priorities, these sectors are strong candidates for LMIA-exempt provisions:
Technology & IT Services:
- Software developers, systems analysts, data scientists
- IT project managers, cybersecurity specialists
- Indian tech professionals (Bangalore, Hyderabad hubs) → Canadian tech companies (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal)
Engineering & Construction:
- Civil, mechanical, electrical engineers
- Project engineers and architects
- UAE construction expertise → Canadian infrastructure projects
- Brazilian engineering talent → resource sector projects
Healthcare:
- Physicians, nurses, allied health professionals
- Medical researchers and specialists
- Thai healthcare workers → Canadian hospitals/clinics
- Indian doctors/nurses → underserved rural/remote communities
Financial Services:
- Accountants, financial analysts, investment advisors
- UAE financial sector professionals → Toronto financial district
- Brazilian banking/finance talent → Canadian institutions
Skilled Trades:
- Electricians, plumbers, welders, carpenters
- Mercosur skilled trades workers → Canadian construction/manufacturing
- Thai specialized tradespeople → hospitality/tourism sectors
Theme 4: Investment and Entrepreneur Facilitation
All consultations reference “investment” alongside work, suggesting investor/entrepreneur categories similar to:
CUSMA T22 Investor Model:
- Substantial capital investment in Canadian business
- Active management role (not passive)
- 1-year initial permits, renewable
CETA T46 Investor Model:
- Establishing or expanding Canadian operations
- Ownership and capital commitment
- Business development and job creation focus
Potential India/Thailand/UAE/Mercosur Investor Pathways:
- Indian entrepreneurs launching Canadian tech startups or retail franchises
- UAE investors developing real estate, hospitality, or logistics ventures
- Brazilian business owners expanding operations to Canadian markets
- Thai investors establishing restaurants, hospitality businesses, or manufacturing
Country-Specific Analysis: What Each Negotiation Means
India: Canada–India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)
- Consultations closed January 27, 2026
- No formal launch date announced (negotiations anticipated 2026)
- Builds on existing Canada-India trade relationship ($10+ billion annual trade)
Why India Matters for Work Permits:
India is Canada’s top source country for international students, Express Entry candidates, and skilled workers:
- 40%+ of Express Entry ITAs go to Indian nationals
- Largest diaspora community in Canada (1.8 million+)
- High concentrations of tech professionals, engineers, healthcare workers, skilled trades
Current Barriers for Indian Workers:
Indian professionals currently face:
- LMIA requirements for most work permits (no existing trade agreement exemptions)
- Long processing times (3-6 months LMIA + 2-4 weeks work permit)
- High costs ($1,000 LMIA fee per application)
- Limited pathways outside Express Entry or LMIA-based employer sponsorship
What CEPA Could Change:
Based on consultation language and existing trade models, potential India CEPA work permit categories might include:
Potential India CEPA Work Permit Categories:
| Category | Likely Eligibility | Duration | Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| IT Professionals | Bachelor’s degree in computer science/IT; 2+ years experience; job offer in software development, systems analysis, cybersecurity | 3 years | Similar to CUSMA T23 professionals |
| Engineers | P.Eng. or engineering degree; provincial licensing; job offer in engineering NOC | 3 years | CETA T43 independent professionals model |
| Intra-Company Transferees (ICT) | 1+ year employment with Indian parent company; exec/manager/specialist transfer to Canadian subsidiary | 1-3 years | CUSMA T24 ICT model |
| Investors/Entrepreneurs | Substantial investment ($100k+ CAD); active management; Canadian business establishment | 1 year (renewable) | CUSMA T22/CETA T46 model |
| Healthcare Professionals | Canadian licensing/registration; job offer in nursing, medicine, allied health | 3 years | CUSMA T23 + regulated profession licensing |
Strategic Positioning for Indian Applicants:
If Canada-India CEPA includes LMIA-exempt work permits:
✅ Get Canadian education credentials recognized (WES/IQAS evaluations)
✅ Pursue provincial licensing for regulated professions (engineering, healthcare)
✅ Build relationships with Canadian employers in target sectors (tech, engineering, finance)
✅ Monitor CEPA negotiations for announced occupation lists
✅ Prepare documentation (degrees, transcripts, experience letters, professional licenses)
VG Immigration will track CEPA developments and notify clients when specific provisions are finalized.
Thailand: Canada–Thailand FTA
- Negotiations launched: October 30, 2025 (PM Carney + PM Anutin Charnvirakul agreement)
- Most explicit work permit language among four consultations
- Consultations closed January 27, 2026; negotiations underway
Why Thailand Matters:
Thailand is:
- ASEAN member (Southeast Asian trade bloc)
- Growing source of skilled workers in hospitality, healthcare, culinary arts, skilled trades
- Strategic gateway to broader ASEAN trade relationships
Current Barriers for Thai Workers:
Thai nationals currently require:
- LMIA for standard work permits (no trade agreement exemptions)
- Visitor visa to enter Canada (not visa-exempt)
- Limited recognition of Thai credentials in regulated professions
Thailand Consultation’s Unique Language:
“Temporary entry of businesspersons… including impediments to obtain a work permit to work in the other market on a temporary basis, such as the application of economic needs tests or numerical restrictions.”
“Impediments to obtain a work permit” is the most direct reference to work permit barriers in any of the four consultations, suggesting Thailand FTA negotiations will prioritize work authorization mechanics.
Potential Thailand FTA Work Permit Categories:
| Category | Likely Eligibility | Duration | Target Occupations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Culinary Professionals | Culinary diploma/certificate; 3+ years experience; job offer as chef/cook | 2-3 years | Thai cuisine specialists (Toronto/Vancouver restaurant scene) |
| Hospitality Managers | Hospitality management degree; 2+ years supervisory experience | 3 years | Hotel managers, tourism coordinators |
| Healthcare Workers | Thai nursing/medical credentials + Canadian licensing in progress; job offer | 3 years | Nurses, allied health professionals (rural/remote needs) |
| ICT (Intra-Company Transferees) | Thai company transfers to Canadian operations | 1-3 years | Tech, manufacturing, logistics sectors |
| Investors | Investment in Canadian hospitality, food service, retail businesses | 1 year (renewable) | Thai entrepreneurs establishing operations |
Strategic Positioning for Thai Applicants:
✅ Highlight unique skills (Thai culinary arts, hospitality management, specialized trades)
✅ Pursue Canadian licensing for healthcare professionals (NCLEX-RN, MCCQE)
✅ Build employer relationships in hospitality, tourism, healthcare sectors
✅ Monitor Thailand FTA progress (likely finalized 2026-2027)
UAE: Canada–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) + CPTPP Accession
- Bilateral CEPA negotiations anticipated launch 2026
- UAE submitted CPTPP accession request August 22, 2025
- Consultations inform both bilateral CEPA and CPTPP accession discussions
Why UAE Matters:
UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) is:
- Middle East financial hub (banking, fintech, investment)
- Logistics and trade gateway (aviation, shipping, commerce)
- Source of high-net-worth investors and business professionals
- Strategic partner for Canadian energy, technology, infrastructure sectors
Current Barriers for UAE Workers:
Emirati nationals currently face:
- No trade agreement with Canada (LMIA required for work permits)
- Visitor visa requirement (not visa-exempt)
- Limited pathways outside standard LMIA-based work permits or provincial entrepreneur programs
Track 1: Bilateral Canada-UAE CEPA
- Direct free trade agreement negotiations
- Custom provisions tailored to Canada-UAE economic relationship
- Likely includes financial services, energy, technology mobility
Track 2: CPTPP Accession
- UAE joining existing 11-country trans-Pacific trade pact (Canada, Australia, Japan, Mexico, etc.)
- Would grant UAE workers access to existing CPTPP work permit categories (T50-T53):
- T50: Investors
- T51: Intra-company transferees (ICT)
- T52: Professionals (pre-approved occupations)
- T53: Spouses (open work permits)
If UAE joins CPTPP, Emirati professionals would immediately qualify for LMIA-exempt work permits under existing T50-T53 frameworks, similar to citizens of Australia, Chile, Vietnam, Japan, etc.
Potential UAE Work Permit Categories (CEPA or CPTPP):
| Category | Likely Eligibility | Duration | Target Sectors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Services Professionals | Bachelor’s in finance/accounting; 3+ years banking/investment experience | 3 years | Toronto financial district banks, investment firms |
| Engineers (Oil & Gas, Infrastructure) | Engineering degree + P.Eng.; energy sector experience | 3 years | Alberta oil & gas, infrastructure projects |
| ICT (Intra-Company Transferees) | UAE company transfers to Canadian operations | 1-3 years | Tech, logistics, aviation, finance |
| Investors | Substantial investment ($250k+ CAD); business development | 1 year (renewable) | Real estate, hospitality, fintech startups |
| Aviation/Logistics Professionals | Aviation management, supply chain specialists | 3 years | Canadian airlines, logistics companies |
Strategic Positioning for UAE Applicants:
✅ Monitor CPTPP accession timeline (potentially faster than bilateral CEPA)
✅ Target financial services and energy sectors (strong Canada-UAE alignment)
✅ Build networks with Canadian companies operating in UAE (reciprocal opportunities)
✅ Prepare investment documentation if pursuing investor pathways
Mercosur: Canada–Mercosur FTA Resumption + Uruguay CPTPP Accession
- Resuming paused negotiations (previous talks 2001-2012)
- Uruguay CPTPP accession negotiations running parallel
- Consultations closed January 27, 2026
Mercosur Countries:
- Brazil (220 million population; largest economy in South America)
- Argentina (45 million; agricultural and manufacturing hub)
- Paraguay (7 million; emerging market)
- Uruguay (3.5 million; services and agriculture)
Why Mercosur Matters:
- 300+ million consumer market (combined bloc population)
- Strong agricultural, mining, manufacturing sectors complementing Canadian industries
- Growing professional services, technology, engineering talent pools
- Brazilian diaspora in Canada (Toronto, Montreal growing communities)
Track 1: Canada-Mercosur Bloc FTA
- Multi-country negotiation (Canada negotiating with 4 Mercosur members collectively)
- Complex due to bloc structure (Mercosur operates as customs union)
Track 2: Uruguay CPTPP Accession
- Uruguay seeking to join CPTPP separately from Mercosur bloc
- Would grant Uruguayan workers access to CPTPP T50-T53 work permit categories
Potential Mercosur Work Permit Categories:
| Category | Likely Eligibility | Duration | Target Sectors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineers | Engineering degrees from Brazilian/Argentinian universities + P.Eng. | 3 years | Mining, resource extraction, infrastructure |
| Agricultural Specialists | Agronomy degrees; farm management experience | 3 years | Canadian agriculture sector (Alberta, Saskatchewan) |
| ICT (Intra-Company Transferees) | Brazilian/Argentinian multinational transfers | 1-3 years | Tech, manufacturing, finance |
| Skilled Trades | Electricians, welders, carpenters with Brazilian/Argentinian certifications | 2-3 years | Construction, manufacturing, resource sectors |
| Investors/Entrepreneurs | Investment in Canadian businesses | 1 year (renewable) | Brazilian entrepreneurs establishing operations |
Strategic Positioning for Mercosur Applicants:
✅ Brazilian tech professionals: Monitor tech sector mobility provisions (Toronto, Vancouver tech hubs)
