Labour Market Impact Assessment
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers may need to obtain before hiring a foreign worker.
A positive LMIA serves as proof that hiring a foreign worker is necessary because no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the role. This document, often referred to as a confirmation letter, demonstrates the need for international talent in specific job positions.
If an LMIA is required, the employer must submit an application to obtain it. Once approved, the foreign worker can then proceed to apply for a work permit.
To apply for a work permit, the following documents are required:
- A job offer letter
- A contract
- A copy of the LMIA
- The LMIA number
By ensuring these steps are followed, employers and workers can streamline the process of securing employment in Canada.
