How can I apply for Canada’s new recognized employer pilot program?

I’m an agriculture engineer from Yemen seeking to relocate to Canada and just heard about the new employer program in the agriculture field. Do I have to apply through an employer or can individuals like me apply if the job is in shortage?

This is for the people who have Canadian experience as the employment needs to be LMIA approved. You need to find a position, apply for a work permit and after accumulating one year of Canadian work experience, you can apply.

The Canada Employer Portal helps Canadian employers manage foreign worker programs. As an applicant, follow these steps: Get a job offer from a Canadian employer who uses the portal; employer applies for LMIA if needed; receive a Job Offer Number after approval; apply for a work permit on IRCC website with Job Offer Number; complete biometrics and medical exam if required; your application will be processed - check status on IRCC site; once approved, get work permit, travel to Canada, and start work. Note: Immigration policies change, visit IRCC site or consult regulated immigration consultant for updated guidance.
