CANADA LMIA - Labour Market Impact Assessment

Описание: A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.

How to apply for LMIA

Employer Application: The employer applies for an LMIA, providing detailed information about the job vacancy, the efforts made to hire Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and the need for hiring a foreign worker.

ESDC Assessment: ESDC evaluates the application based on various criteria, including the impact on the Canadian labor market, the genuineness of the job offer, and compliance with employment standards.

Decision: ESDC may grant or refuse the LMIA based on its assessment. If approved, the employer receives a positive LMIA, allowing them to proceed with hiring a foreign worker.

Worker’s Application: With a positive LMIA, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), demonstrating they have a job offer supported by an LMIA.
