LMIA Work Permit Canada
LMIA Based Work Permit
Secure Your Employment in Canada with Liberty Immigration Services
An LMIA Based Work Permit is required for foreign nationals who have received a job offer from a Canadian employer and need a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market. This process ensures that the job offer is legitimate and that there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available to fill the position.
Key Components of LMIA Based Work Permit
Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
A Labor Market Impact Assessment is a document that an employer in Canada must obtain before hiring a foreign worker. The LMIA confirms that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker is available to do so. The LMIA process involves proving the need for foreign labor and the employer’s efforts to hire Canadians.
Application Process for LMIA
The employer must apply to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) for an LMIA by submitting a detailed application, which includes information about the job offer, recruitment efforts, and the impact on the labor market. This application must demonstrate that the hiring of a foreign worker is essential and that it will not adversely affect Canadian workers.
Work Permit Application
Once the LMIA application is approved, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit in Canada. The work permit application must include the LMIA approval, a job offer letter, and other supporting documents. This process involves proving the foreign worker’s qualifications and readiness to take up the job in Canada.
Application Steps For LMIA Based Work Permit
Eligibility Assessment
During the initial consultation, we assess the qualifications of both the employer and the foreign worker against the LMIA requirements. This includes evaluating the job offer, the employer’s recruitment efforts, and the foreign worker’s qualifications.
Job Offer and Employer Requirements
Employers need to meet specific criteria, including advertising the job to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, providing a detailed job description, and proving the necessity of hiring a foreign worker. We assist employers in meeting these requirements and preparing the necessary documentation.
LMIA Application Submission
We guide employers through the LMIA application process, ensuring all necessary information is included and submitted to ESDC. This involves detailing the recruitment efforts and justifying the need for a foreign worker.
Work Permit Application
Once the LMIA is approved, we assist the foreign worker in preparing and submitting the work permit application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This includes compiling all required documents such as the LMIA approval, job offer letter, proof of qualifications, and personal identification documents.
Processing and Approval
After submission, the work permit application is processed by IRCC. We provide regular updates and address any queries or additional document requests from IRCC. Processing times can vary based on the application and volume of submissions.
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 understanding their rights and responsibilities as a work permit holder. If approved, the work permit is issued, and the foreign worker can begin employment in Canada.
