LMIA Applications

The Labour Market Impact Assessment application is crucial for Canadian employers hiring foreign workers, assessing its impact on the labor market. We provide expert guidance, from documentation to issue resolution, ensuring compliance and efficient staffing.

A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.

Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.

If the employer needs an LMIA, they must apply for one.

To apply for a work permit, the worker must provide the following:

A copy of Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from ESDC (provided by the employer), a job offer letter signed by the employee and a copy of an employment contract signed by both employer and employee. Proof of eligibility for the job (for example: a valid Canadian provincial or territorial trade certificate, educational requirements or past work experience outlined in a resume)

Expressed goal is to avoid misunderstandings between employer/employee during interviews by providing copies beforehand so there aren’t any surprises leftovers later down the road.
