Our company does business with a Canadian company in which we frequently travel to the canadian locations to work. Our knowledge, training, and work is specific to the merchandise sold to the customer. We support them with warranty work as well as non-warranty work. When requested we try to get there as quickly as possible so that there is no down time for the customer. Each time filling out the LMO exemption paperwork as in most cases it's an emergency visit. My question is, can our company purchase a blanket work visa for a certain amount of time to cover the 3 locations in Canada?

As it applies to cases dependent on Labour Market Opinion (LMO) Confirmations, blanket coverage allowing for multiple entries to engage in multiple projects is generally not allowable. Approvals would have to be sought on a per project basis for which there is a clear schedule of performance.

In some limited circumstances, this type of coverage may be permitted for short durations (typically on the order of 3 months). Depending on provincial jurisdiction, this may include a case where a machine is failing and in the process of being replaced, but may be expected to require constant service during the replacement process.

In some other categories of permits, not subject to the LMO, blanket coverage may be viable if there is evidence that this occurs within a period of longer-term arranged work in Canada.
