The Labour Market Impact Assessment program is for those employers who require help with their business.
This program allows for employers to hire temporary foreign workers (TFW’s) to come to Canada and work for them for a period of one or two years. There are several streams for LMIA’s. There are low wage, high wage, high wage with support of Permanent Residence, agricultural, and more. Let us help you figure out which application is best for you and your company so you can hire the best help possible.
General
English and French must be the only languages that can be distinguished as job requirements both for LMIAs and for job vacancy advertisements unless the employer can prove that another language is otherwise required.
Fees
Employers wishing to hire a temporary foreign worker to Canada must pay a processing fee of $1,000 CDN tied to each request for a labour market opinion. A “privilege fee” of $100 CDN is also required.
Job Need
Employers must advertise all job vacancies in the Canadian job market for at least four weeks before applying for an LMIA and are required to prove that they have used at least two other recruitment methods in addition to having posted an advertisement on the Canadian Job Bank website. Employers must focus advertising efforts on groups of Canadians who are under-represented, such as Aboriginals or persons with disabilities.
