LMIA

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is an essential document that Canadian employers must secure before employing foreign workers. Its primary purpose is to confirm that hiring international talent will not adversely affect the Canadian labour market and that no qualified Canadians are available to fill the position.

What is this program about?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada must usually get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker can do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a Confirmation letter.

Benefits of the Program

The LMIA serves to protect the Canadian workforce by ensuring that all efforts have been made to hire locally before seeking international candidates. It is a key step in the process of employing foreign workers in Canada.

Who is Eligible for the Program?

Canadian employers looking to hire foreign workers typically need to obtain an LMIA for positions across various industries, including healthcare, agriculture, construction, and technology, where skilled labor shortages may exist. For foreign nationals, an LMIA is often a key requirement when applying for temporary work permits, as it provides the necessary authorization to work in Canada.

Types of LMIA

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) comes in various categories, tailored to the type of job and wage level. Each type has specific requirements, and choosing the right path is essential for successful hiring.

1. High-Wage Positions

Applies to jobs where the wage offered is above the median wage for the province or territory.
Employers must submit a transition plan, outlining steps to reduce dependency on foreign workers over time.

2. Low-Wage Positions

Covers jobs that pay below the median wage.
Employers are subject to caps on the proportion of low-wage foreign workers they can hire.

3. Global Talent Stream (GTS)

Part of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), this stream facilitates the rapid hiring of highly skilled foreign professionals.
Commonly used for technology and specialized fields where local talent shortages exist.

4. Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP)

Designed for employers in the agriculture sector to hire foreign workers for seasonal roles.
While it often bypasses the traditional LMIA process, employers must still meet similar requirements to address labor shortages.

Each stream addresses specific labor market needs, ensuring a balanced approach to employing foreign talent in Canada.
