An LMIA or Labour Market Impact Assessment is a document that a Canadian Employer needs to get before hiring a foreign worker. It shows there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a job and that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available.
If a Canadian Business needs an LMIA to hire a foreign worker, they must apply for one. It must meet the following criteria.
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) lets you hire temporary foreign workers to fill labor and skill shortages. Once an LMIA has is issued, you should provide a copy of the confirmation letter to each temporary foreign worker and tell each of them to apply for a work permit. You’ll need an LMIA from ESDC, Service Canada.
Don’t take any chances with your LMIA application. It is a tricky process, and rejection is time-consuming and costly.
