Frequently Asked Questions

How do I obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that a Canadian employer must obtain before hiring a temporary foreign worker. It proves that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the job.

Steps to obtain an LMIA:

Identify the correct stream: Employers must determine if the position falls under the high-wage, low-wage, agricultural, or another stream.
Advertise the position: The job must be posted for at least 4 weeks on designated platforms unless exempted.
Prepare the application: This includes the Service Canada form, detailed job description, and proof of recruitment efforts.
Pay the fee: The standard fee is CAD $1,000 per position, with some exceptions for agricultural jobs.
Wait for processing: Times vary by stream, from a few days to several weeks.

To streamline your process and avoid delays, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.
