LMIAA Canadian Labour Market Impact Assessment (or LMIA) is required if a Canadian employer seeks to hire a temporary foreign worker to fill a position in Canada. In order to protect jobs for Canadian permanent residents and citizens, the Canadian labour force, an assessment must be conducted to determine if the position can be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. If the report indicates that the labour market can accommodate the foreign worker and that there is a void to be filled, then a positive report is issued to the employer. The applicant must include the Labour Market Impact Assessment with their application to Employment and Social Development Canada Service Canada. The employer must be qualified to participate in any Canadian immigration programs and must obtain and submit the report themselves. If you are an employer and need help with this process, we are glad to be of service.
