Labour Market Impact Assessment

It is important to speak with an experienced immigration consultant when completing an LMIA and Work permit application. The LMIA is an Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) process and wishes to point out that there’s a requirement for an immigrant worker to fill a job. A positive LMIA will show that no Canadian Worker is out there to fill the position. It is important that this application be made accurately and effectively with the assistance of an experienced trained consultant. A seemingly small detail or omission in an LMIA application can result in a negative decision and subsequently refusals or delays.

LMIA issued to employers are valid up to maximum of 6 months from the date of issuance and if the LMIA is expired within this point, the employer is required to apply for a replacement LMIA.
