    Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Services in Canada

    Hiring a foreign worker in Canada often requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This government authorization, issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), confirms that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the position. At Legacy North Immigration, our experienced Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) guide employers through the LMIA application process, helping you secure global talent quickly and legally.

    Why Do Employers Need an LMIA in Canada?

    An LMIA is required in most cases before a foreign worker can apply for a work permit. After reviewing the options that a worker has to apply for an LMIA-exempt work permit, and employer can decide to pursue an application for an LMIA.

    Employers must prove:

    • The job could not be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
    • Recruitment efforts were genuine and documented, and meet immigration requirements
    • The job offer meets Canadian standards for wages and working conditions

    What our LMIA service includes

    • Eligibility Assessment: Identify which LMIA stream applies (high-wage, low-wage, or Global Talent Stream).
    • Application Preparation: Support drafting job postings and posting advertisements, advising on recruitment efforts, completing application forms, advising on documentation requirements and preparing LMIA application to meet Service Canada’s requirements.
    • Supporting Documentation: Assistance with collecting proof of business legitimacy, recruitment results, and records.
    • Representation: We communicate with ESDC/Service Canada on your behalf to resolve questions and minimize delays.

        • What types of positions are eligible for an LMIA?

        • Do all jobs in Canada require an LMIA?

        Not every worker needs an LMIA to apply for a work permit. There are many types of LMIA-exempt work permits that your worker may be eligible to apply for. Book a consultation to review your workers options.
