Labour Market Impact Assessments
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial document that Canadian employers must secure from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) before hiring a foreign worker through specific immigration programs. The purpose of the LMIA is to ensure that employing a foreign worker will not adversely affect the Canadian labor market and that no Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available to fill the job position.
To obtain an LMIA, Canadian employers are required to demonstrate that they have made reasonable efforts to hire Canadian citizens or permanent residents for the job opening. Additionally, they must provide detailed information about the vacant position, including its duties, responsibilities, offered wages and benefits, as well as the necessary qualifications and experience required from potential candidates.
Navigating the LMIA process can be intricate and time-consuming, underscoring the importance for Canadian employers to grasp the intricacies and procedures involved.
