LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
Understanding Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs)
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial step for Canadian employers seeking to hire foreign workers. This document serves as official approval, demonstrating that hiring a foreign worker is necessary because no qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available to fill the position. While most job roles in Canada require an LMIA, certain types of work may be LMIA-exempt.
What is a Positive LMIA?
A positive LMIA, also known as a confirmation letter, verifies that:
- There is a genuine need for a foreign worker to fill the position.
- No Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to perform the job.
This approval is often essential not only for obtaining a Work Permit but also for applying for Permanent Residency under Canada’s Express Entry system.
The LMIA Process
The LMIA application involves several steps, including:
- Recruitment Efforts: Employers must conduct a four-week recruitment process to prove they actively sought Canadian candidates.
- Business Verification: Employers must show that the company is a legitimate Canadian business with active owner involvement.
