Immigration Support for Canadian Employers

LMIA guidance for employers looking to hire foreign workers, from recruitment through approval.

LMIA Applications for Employers
01 Overview

What Is a Labour Market Impact Assessment?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document a Canadian employer may need before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA shows there is a genuine need for the worker and that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the role.

An employer may need an LMIA when hiring for a position that is not covered by an international agreement or other exemption, and where the role and wage meet the program's requirements.

02 Employer Obligations

Responsibilities & Recruitment Requirements

Employer Responsibilities

Employers must meet wage, workplace, and compliance obligations both before and after an LMIA is approved.

Recruitment Requirements

Most LMIA streams require documented recruitment efforts showing the position was advertised to the Canadian labour market first.

03 Application Support

Documentation & Application Preparation

We help employers assemble job postings, wage evidence, business documentation, and the LMIA application itself, and manage correspondence with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) throughout the process.

04 After Approval

Supporting the Foreign Worker

Once an LMIA is approved, we help the employer and the foreign worker move forward with the corresponding work permit application, so the transition from approval to hire is coordinated and clear.

05 Ethical Practice

Ethical Immigration Practices

We work with employers who are committed to fair recruitment and compliant workplace practices, consistent with the standards expected under Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
