LMIA Based Work Permit

What is LMIA Based Work Permit?

LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) Based Work Permit is a type of work permit that allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers for positions that cannot be filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This work permit is issued by the Canadian government and requires the employer to obtain a positive LMIA assessment before hiring a foreign worker.

The LMIA process requires the employer to advertise the job to Canadian citizens and permanent residents for a specific period of time. If there are no qualified candidates for the job, the employer can apply for an LMIA assessment to hire a foreign worker. The LMIA assessment is conducted by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), which evaluates whether hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or negative impact on the Canadian labour market.

Once the employer receives a positive LMIA assessment, the foreign worker can apply for a LMIA Based Work Permit. The work permit is issued for a specific job and employer and is valid for the duration of the job offer. The LMIA Based Work Permit allows foreign workers to work in Canada for a specific period of time. After the work permit expires, the worker may be eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada through various immigration programs.
