Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a mandatory approval for Canadian employers to hire foreign workers. Issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), LMIA ensures that hiring overseas candidates does not negatively impact the local workforce. A positive LMIA can lead to Permanent Residency (PR) under Canada's economic immigration programs. To apply for a Work Permit after obtaining an LMIA, applicants need a valid job offer, contract, LMIA number, and supporting documents.
Employers must pay a CAD 1000 processing fee (non-refundable if LMIA is negative) and provide proof of business legitimacy and recruitment efforts for Canadian residents. Foreign workers (TFWs) are categorized into high-wage and low-wage positions, ensuring fair wages and benefits. High-wage LMIA applicants, including skilled professionals and tradespeople, benefit from faster processing times. The transition from Temporary Foreign Worker status to PR requires fulfilling specific conditions under the updated LMIA system.
The process for low-wage LMIA is stricter, with employers facing limitations. Companies with over 10 employees cannot exceed 10% of their workforce with foreign workers. Additionally, sectors like accommodation, food, and retail trade are restricted from hiring low-skilled workers under this category. High-wage LMIA requires extensive documentation, fees, and a detailed recruitment process, making it more challenging for employers.
If obtaining an LMIA is difficult, candidates can consider permanent residency through the Express Entry System. Meeting the minimum 67-point threshold for the Federal Skilled Worker stream allows applicants to enter the Express Entry pool, where selections are based on CRS scores. Processing times vary based on individual cases. At DBIC VISA, we ensure a smooth process by submitting accurate documents and guiding clients through both low-wage and high-wage LMIA applications.
