LMIA APPLICATION
Labour market impact Assessments (LMIA)
Many foreign nationals seeking employment in Canada must first obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before they can apply for a work permit from Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees Canada (IRCC).
Employers can apply for an LMIA to either allow a foreign national to obtain a new work permit, maintain a current employee’s authorization to work, or support a current or prospective employee’s permanent residence application.
The purpose of an LMIA is to allow Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals, while at the same time demonstrating that they could not find a Canadian suitable for the position.
The requirements for a successful LMIA application vary, depending on the particular program under which the LMIA is being submitted. There are streams for high-wage positions, low-wage positions, caregivers, agricultural workers, academics, and permanent resident applicants. We can assist employers in filing LMIA applications in compliance with the legal and documentary requirements in the appropriate stream.

What If Your LMIA Was Refused Before?
Have you received a refusal? Having a past refusal does not preclude you from submitting another LMIA application. This situation calls for LMIA consultations to either avoid wasting time and money on another application or to submit an application more likely to succeed. We review the refusal with you and provide insights on the best way to approach the next application.
