LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment)
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.
A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.
Beneficiaries of the LMIA employment would be able to apply for work visa to work in Canada. Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.
Requirements
An Employment offer letter: The LMIA number
Supporting Documents
1 – 3 Years Work Experience (Field)
Proof of Language (English/ French)
Application Period
The processing from LMIA to visa application would take between 16 to 12 weeks to conclude and beneficiaries of LMIA are allowed to bring in their dependents into Canada. The dependents are allowed to work, study, and live in Canada for as long as the permit remains valid.
