Foreign Workers

Lululemon in Vancouver has a supportive policy for hiring foreign workers, especially for highly skilled positions. The Canadian government has granted Lululemon an exemption from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process for certain roles. This means they can hire foreign workers for positions like management jobs, software engineers, and computer technicians without needing to prove that there are no Canadians available for the job.

Lululemon is committed to ethical recruitment and management of foreign workers. They have a Foreign Migrant Worker Standard that outlines their commitment to eradicating human trafficking and forced labor in their supply chain. This standard ensures that foreign workers are recruited and managed ethically, with protections in place for their rights and well-being.

The Official Outfitter of Team Canada is also Lululemon, a partnership that began with the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Games and will continue through the 2028 Games. This collaboration involves designing and providing apparel and accessories for Team Canada athletes, coaches, and Mission Team members for various events, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, medal ceremonies, and daily wear in the Athletes’ Village.

Lululemon’s designs focus on inclusivity and performance, ensuring that the athletes feel comfortable and confident. For the Paris 2024 Games, they have created an athlete kit that includes adaptive features and innovative designs, developed in close collaboration with Paralympic athletes. This partnership not only highlights Lululemon’s commitment to high-performance athletic wear but also underscores their dedication to supporting Canadian athletes on the world stage.
