A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job position and that no Canadian worker is available to do the job.

Employers can get the LMIA application processed according to their needs, either to support the foreign worker’s application for permanent residence or to hire them as a temporary foreign worker, or both.

To receive a positive LMIA, the employer must meet the minimum requirements set out by the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). At Link Overseas Immigration, we help our clients with the process according to their requirements, in order to make the immigration process easier as well as remaining in compliance with the ESDC.
