LMIA Based Work Permit

LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) based work permits in Canada are issued to foreign workers when an employer demonstrates that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a specific job role because no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do the job. Due to Canada’s current labor shortage, many employers need to hire temporary foreign workers (TFWs). To manage this, the Canadian government relies on the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) system, issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). The LMIA ensures a thorough assessment of the necessity to hire foreign workers, verifying that efforts to recruit Canadians or permanent residents have been exhausted. This system aims to prioritize the Canadian workforce while addressing genuine needs for foreign labor in specific sectors, maintaining economic stability.
