All You Need to Know About Labour Market Impact Assessment

Canada is a country with many economic opportunities but an unfortunate lack of workers. The mismatch between the supply and demand of labour can be a headache for firms.

Continue reading this article to learn more about LMIA.

The Basics Of Labour Market Impact Assessment

The Labour Market Impact Assessment is a document necessary for a Canadian company looking to hire a foreign worker. Once you’ve applied for the LMIA, the Canadian government will check whether local labour is available that meets your job description. If local labour isn’t available for the job, your LMIA application will be accepted.

Your foreign employee uses the LMIA document to apply for a Canadian work visa. Here’s the list of documents your worker might need for their visa:

· Offer letter

· Copy of the LMIA

· LMIA number

· Job contract

Who Should Get Labour Market Impact Assessment?

Is your company in Canada struggling to hire local labour? You should get a labour market impact assessment which will assist you in hiring foreign workers. As a Canadian business, you can get the LMIA from the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to hire a temporary foreign employee.
