Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA - also called a confirmation letter - will demonstrate that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also establish that no Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) or citizen is readily available for the position.
LMIA application process
During the application process, the employer must identify the job details such as job title, duties and responsibilities, wage, qualifications and experience of the potential candidate. The employer must make recruitment efforts to find a Canadian citizen or a PR to fill that vacancy and provide evidence of such recruitment efforts.
Finally, the employer must provide evidence that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market. This can include providing evidence that the foreign worker possesses skills that are in demand in Canada.
Work permit application
Once all the conditions met, and the employer has secured a positive or neutral LMIA, the foreign national can apply for a Closed Work Permit also known as Employer-Specific Work Permit.
