Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs)
If you’re a Canadian employer looking to hire foreign workers, the first step is often securing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)—a required document that confirms there are no Canadians available for the role. I provide complete LMIA support, helping you meet government requirements, avoid delays, and move forward with confidence.
What Is an LMIA?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that confirms there’s a genuine need for a foreign worker and that no qualified Canadian or permanent resident is available to fill the role. In most cases, an approved LMIA is required before a foreign national can apply for a Canadian work permit.
Applying for an LMIA (or navigating the related International Mobility Programs) involves strict government requirements—job postings, wage benchmarking, detailed forms, and employer attestations. Even a small oversight can lead to costly delays or outright refusals. I handle every step with precision, so you can hire the talent you need without risking compliance issues.
