LMIA

The Labour Market Impact, referred to as LMIA, is an assessment report made by Employment and Social Development Canada to judge whether the employer has the need and ability to hire foreigners. Employers in Canada who need to recruit temporary foreign workers must first submit an LMIA application to the Employment and Development Department. Once approved, they can use this to assist temporary foreign workers in applying for work visas to work for the employer in Canada.

There are two categories of LMIA:

  • Government free processing. It can support the applicant’s immigration application after approval. It will add 50 points (general occupations) or 200 points (senior management occupations) in EE system.
  • An LMIA supports closed work permit applications and can also support immigration applications.
