LMIA Requirements
Understanding the Essentials with Liberty Immigration Services
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers must obtain before hiring a foreign worker. The LMIA process ensures that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market. It confirms that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do so.
Key Components of LMIA Requirements
Determining the Need for an LMIA
Most employers need an LMIA before they can hire a temporary foreign worker. The LMIA confirms that there is a need for a foreign worker and that no Canadian worker is available for the job. To determine if you need an LMIA, employers must review the specific job requirements and the availability of Canadian workers for that position.
Application Process for an LMIA
Employers must submit a detailed application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). This application includes information about the job offer, recruitment efforts, and the impact on the labor market. Employers must demonstrate that they have made significant efforts to recruit Canadian workers before turning to foreign labor.
Employer and Worker Responsibilities
Once an LMIA is issued, employers must provide a copy of the confirmation letter to the foreign worker, who will then use it to apply for a work permit. Both the employer and the worker must ensure that all conditions outlined in the LMIA and the work permit are met.
Application Steps For LMIA Requirements
Eligibility Assessment
We begin by assessing the employer’s need for an LMIA and the foreign worker’s qualifications. This includes evaluating the job offer, the recruitment efforts, and the compliance with LMIA requirements.
Recruitment and Job Offer
Employers must conduct extensive recruitment efforts to find Canadian workers before applying for an LMIA. This includes advertising the job in various forums and documenting all recruitment efforts. We assist employers in meeting these requirements and preparing a comprehensive job offer.
LMIA Application Submission
We guide employers through the LMIA application process, ensuring all necessary documentation is included. The application must demonstrate the need for a foreign worker and the unavailability of Canadian workers for the job.
Work Permit Application
Once the LMIA is approved, we assist the foreign worker in applying for a work permit. This involves preparing and submitting all required documents, such as the LMIA confirmation, job offer letter, and proof of qualifications.
Processing and Approval
After submission, the LMIA and work permit applications are processed by ESDC and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We provide regular updates and address any queries from the authorities during this process.
Decision and Follow-Up
Once a decision is made, we assist with the final steps, including preparing for the foreign worker’s move to Canada and ensuring compliance with the conditions of the LMIA and work permit. If approved, the foreign worker can begin employment in Canada.
