3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  Legally work in Canada for a set duration with renewal options.

What is an LMIA-Based Employer-Specific Work Permit?

An LMIA-based work permit is issued to foreign workers who have been offered a job by a Canadian employer with a positive LMIA. This permit:

3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  Specifies job duties, employer name, work location, and salary details.
3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  Requires applicants to meet qualification, experience, health, and legal criteria.
3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  Is issued for a predetermined duration and may need renewal upon expiration.
3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  Does not provide permanent residency but can be a stepping stone to PR.

Understanding the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that evaluates the impact of hiring a foreign worker in Canada.

3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  A Positive LMIA: Confirms that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available for the position, allowing the employer to hire an international worker.
3d2d1ded 254a 4903 bae9 6a872e06b3d8  A Negative LMIA: Means that only Canadian citizens or PR holders can fill the position.

Employers must meet specific LMIA eligibility criteria, including:

Business Legitimacy Documents

Employers must provide proof of business registration and operational status in Canada

Transition Plan

Recruitment Efforts

Employers must demonstrate efforts to recruit Canadian citizens and PRs before applying for an LMIA.

Wages & Compensation
