The employer that hires a foreign worker is responsible for completing a LMIA. Alternatively, those with an Open Work Permit are not required to submit a LMIA on behalf of their employer.

LMIA


It means Labour Market Impact Assessment. When a Canadian Employer want to hire a foreign national for his company or business entity then they need a Positive LMIA. It means hired person will not make any effect in Canadian Labour Market.

If you don’t find any suitable qualified person here in Canada for your business or for your company then you can hire a foreign worker. You have to prove the evidence that you tried to find a similar qualified person in Canada before you hire a foreign worker. The person will get the same salary as their counterpart in Canada. We help the employer and the business entity to process the LMIA application and help them in finding a suitable person for their Company or for their business entity.

High Wage / Low Wage LMIA


An employer can hire a foreign worker by offering to pay a low or high wage depending on the supply of workers qualified to do that job in Canada. A positive LMIA indicates there is a need for the foreign worker and the employer must pay at or above the median wage (high wage). Otherwise, the foreign worker may be hired at a wage below the provincial median wage (low age).


  • The employer must: complete the LMIA;
  • Prove no available applicants domestically

High Wage / Low Wage LMIA
