A Temporary Foreign Worker Program work permit is required, preceded by an employer-obtained Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) costing $1,000 per position. LMIA processing takes 10 business days inside Canada or 28 outside, followed by 8-16 weeks for permit issuance. Security guard occupations (NOC 64410) qualify if no Canadian worker is available.

Zero prior experience is needed for entry-level positions, but a provincial security training certificate and clean criminal record check are mandatory in regulated provinces. On-the-job training is provided by 72% of employers.
Q How do I get a security guard license in Ontario in 2026?
