Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) – Hire the Right Talent, The Right Way!
Struggling to find the right worker for your business? When qualified Canadian citizens and permanent residents are unavailable for a job, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) can help employers legally hire foreign workers to fill essential positions.
However, the LMIA process is complex and highly regulated—making mistakes can lead to delays, refusals, or even penalties. That’s where we come in!
What is an LMIA?
An LMIA is a mandatory assessment that determines whether hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or negative impact on the Canadian labour market. Employers must prove that they have made genuine efforts to hire locally before seeking foreign talent.
How We Help Employers Secure an LMIA Approval
- Assess eligibility and determine the right LMIA type for your needs
- Guide you through advertising & recruitment requirements to meet IRCC standards
- Prepare and submit a complete LMIA application, ensuring accuracy and compliance
- Provide support in proving business legitimacy (corporate tax returns, payroll documents, licenses, etc.)
- Assist with LMIA-based work permit or permanent residency support
Types of LMIA Applications We Handle
🟢High-Wage LMIA – For positions offering wages at or above the provincial median
🟢Low-Wage LMIA – For positions below the provincial median wage
🟢LMIA for Caregivers – To hire foreign caregivers for children, seniors, or individuals with medical needs
🟢LMIA to Support Permanent Residency – Helping foreign workers transition to permanent residents
🔹Did You Know? A positive LMIA is typically valid for 6 months, meaning employers must hire a foreign worker and have them apply for a work permit within this period—otherwise, they’ll need to restart the process!
