Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
Hire Foreign Workers the Right Way
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers when no qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available for the job.
✅ What is LMIA?
An LMIA confirms that:
There is a genuine need for a foreign worker.
Hiring the worker will have a neutral or positive impact on the Canadian labor market.
Once approved, the LMIA allows the foreign worker to apply for a work permit based on a valid job offer.
