Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

Back to Services
Express Entry

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial step in the Canadian immigration process for certain temporary work permits. Managed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the LMIA ensures that hiring a foreign worker does not negatively affect the Canadian job market. Employers must demonstrate adherence to specific criteria, including fair wages and efforts to hire locally, with processing times and post-approval steps outlined on the official Canadian immigration website.
