Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Recruitment Service

Need help finding workers for your business or obtaining work permits for existing employees? The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Recruitment Service can help if you:

• Have employees that need work permits 

• Are looking to hire foreign employees for your business 

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)  is a document that employers might have to use before hiring a foreign worker. This assessment tells an employer whether or not their foreign worker can be employed or if there are Canadian workers or permanent residents that can. A positive LMIA means that the employer can hire their foreign worker because there are no Canadian or permanent resident workers available. Once the employer receives the positive LMIA, the employees can apply for a work permit. Employees may also apply for permanent residence after a LMIA approval, if they meet other requirements. This is typically done in the Express Entry system.

Almost all employers applying for LMIA are required to demonstrate their recruitment efforts of hiring Canadians. Note that Service Canada review recruitment efforts very closely and we recommend employers always hire a professional to fulfill this requirement.
