•In 2022, lululemon employed nearly 9,000 people in Canada.
Through the Canada-British Columbia Immigration Agreement, British Columbia can identify significant investment projects to be considered for a special exemption from the labour market impact assessment (LMIA) process. Employment and Social Development Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada then assess the project to determine if it meets the criteria.
To qualify under the agreement, a project must
•represent a major investment in the economy
•involve a highly mobile global talent pool in high-wage occupations, creating a situation that is not well-suited to the LMIA process
•result in knowledge transfer to local workers and a reduction in the number of foreign workers needed over time
