LMIA Process

LMIA Process for Companies

How the LMIA process works.

Job Offer: The Canadian employer offers a job to a foreign national.

LMIA Application: The employer submits an LMIA application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Assessment by ESDC: ESDC assesses whether the employer has made sufficient efforts to hire Canadians and if the working conditions meet standards.

Decision: ESDC issues a positive LMIA (if the impact is positive or neutral) or a negative LMIA (if the impact is negative).

Work Permit: With a positive LMIA, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Key Requirements for the Employer:

Demonstrate efforts to recruit Canadians or permanent residents. Offer a wage and working conditions that meet provincial and federal standards. Pay the processing fee for each LMIA application (except in some cases, such as for the care of individuals with special needs)..

Types of LMIA:
High-wage: Wages above the provincial average.
Low-wage: Wages below the provincial average.
Caregivers LMIA: For the caregiver program.
Global Talent Stream LMIA: For highly specialized workers.

This process is crucial to ensure that hiring foreign workers does not harm the job opportunities of Canadian citizens.

Official Languages Proficiency

Canada has two official languages: English and French. Your ability to read, write, speak, and understand these languages helps determine your eligibility.

The Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) is a scale used to assess your language proficiency. Your CLB score is determined through official language tests approved by the Canadian government. If you haven't yet done an official assessment, select the options that correspond with your ability.

Personal Net Worth

Personal net worth is the total value of what you own (assets) minus what you owe (liabilities). To calculate it, add up the value of all your assets, such as cash, investments, real estate or property, and other valuable possessions. Then subtract all your liabilities, like loans, mortgages, credit card debt, and other financial obligations. The result is your net worth, which reflects your overall financial health. If you are married or have a common-law partner, add their personal net worth to your own. Use this tool to convert your local currency to Canadian Dollars (CAD).
