I am exempt from needing a LMO by applying for a work permit under NAFTA. Do I need to provide verification from CIC when I apply at the port of entry?
This makes it seem optional: Step 1:
"You may want to seek verification of the LMO exemption from CIC. You may choose to e-mail or fax “opinion requests” directly to their CIC Temporary Foreign Worker Unit located in Montreal or Toronto."
This makes it seem required: Step 4:
"To enter Canada, foreign workers must have the following documents on their person to present to a Border Services officer:"
"A copy of the confirmation by a CIC Temporary Foreign Worker Unit that the job offer is exempt from a work permit or LMO (if applicable)"
