Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

According to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, an employer must receive an approval from the Canadian government before hiring internationally. This rule is called LMIA or Labour Market Impact Assessment. The purpose of this Immigration law is to ensure that the arrival of a foreign employee won’t hurt the Canadian employees.

A positive LMIA shows requirements for a foreign worker who will fill the position. Furthermore, this LMIA shows that no Canadian workers are available to fulfill this job role. The decision on the LMIA’s status is made by the ESDC (Economic and Social Development Canada) under the following criteria-
• No PRs or citizens are available to do the job.
• Hiring a foreign employee will have a positive impact on the labor market.
• The employee has all the required skills and knowledge.
• The employer will adhere to federal and provincial criteria when it comes to employee’ pay, benefits, or work conditions.
