What is an LMIA?<\/b><\/p>\n

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), a document released by the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), is needed by Canadian employers in order to justify hiring foreign workers. LMIAs go hand-in-hand with Work Permits. In order to get a Work Permit, temporary foreign workers who are interested in working in Canada need to have a temporary full-time job offer from a Canadian employer, supported by a LMIA. The LMIA is usually given for certain duration as per the prevailing guidelines and the work permit issued will match that period. If you want to renew your work permit beyond this period, you will likely need a new LMIA. Hiring foreign workers in Canada can be an overwhelming process with many requirements and steps in the process.<\/p>\n

A LMIA, also known as a confirmation letter, will establish that there is a demand\/need for a foreign worker to fill the job in question. A Positive LMIA shows that no Canadian worker is available to perform the job.<\/p>\n

Once an employer obtains an LMIA, the foreign temporary worker can then apply for a work permit as per the time duration mentioned in the LMIA.<\/p>\n
