LMIA Explained
Purpose: A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required by Canadian employers before hiring a foreign worker. It verifies to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that there is a legitimate need for a foreign worker because no qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available to fill the position.
Process: Employers must first advertise the job within Canada and demonstrate that they have made reasonable efforts to recruit a Canadian for the role. If they are unable to find a suitable candidate, they can then apply to ESDC for LMIA approval.
Outcome: A positive LMIA indicates that the employer has been authorized to hire a foreign worker.
Canada Job Offer with LMIA
A job offer letter from a Canadian employer is essential for a foreign worker, provided the employer operates a business in Canada. This letter must be supported by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) approved by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
A valid LMIA job offer is a significant asset for foreign workers. It enables them to apply for a Canadian work permit and can also enhance their Express Entry CRS points.
Who is eligible for an LMIA Job Offer?
Skilled workers: Typically, the job and your qualifications should align with National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels 0, A, or B.
Job requirements: You must have the skills, experience, and qualifications outlined in the job offer.
Language proficiency: Depending on the job, you may need to demonstrate proficiency in English or French.
Additional considerations: Your education, work experience, and potential benefits to Canada are also taken into account.
