LMIA: What Is It?<\/span><\/p>\n

Labour Market Impact Assessment is referred to as LMIA. The officer’s ability to assess whether the hiring of the foreign worker will likely have a favorable or unfavorable effect on Canada’s labor market depends on the advice given to them by ESDC. Prior to employing a foreign worker, a Canadian employer is required to obtain this document. If the LMIA comes back positive, it indicates that the employer has the option to engage a foreign worker because no Canadian is willing or able to fill the position.<\/span><\/p>\n

Required Documentation for the LMIA Application:<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence of hiring (such as a copy of the job advertisement and documentation proving the location, time, and duration of the job posting)<\/span><\/p>\n

Documents pertaining to business registration or legal incorporation (if initial LMIA application) excludes employers who hire in-home carers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employers of in-home carers are not covered by provincial or municipal business license (where applicable and if initial LMIA application).Revenue Agency of Canada:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Information from the T2 Schedule 100 Balance Sheet (for corporations only – the last two filed returns)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. T2 Schedule 125 Income Statement Data (the last two filed returns, only for firms)<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Only necessary if this is the employer’s initial application for an LMIA. Does not apply to companies hiring in-home carers or to movies and entertainment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Workplace safety and insurance at the provincial and territorial levels (e.g. workers compensation board) certificate or clearance letter (if applicable)<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Commercial lease agreement (if first LMIA and appropriate) excludes employers who hire in-home carers.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Copy of employment contract for film and entertainment (excluding film and TV)<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Requirements for provincial paperwork (for the provinces listed below):<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • If applicable, ALBERTA – Employment Agency Business Licence under the Alberta Fair Trading Act<\/span><\/li>\n
    • British Columbia’s Employment Standards Act governs employment agency licences. if relevant MANITOBA: The Worker Recruitment and Protection Act of Manitoba – Certificate of Registration<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Employer Registration Certificate (Labour Standards Code) for Nova Scotia<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The Foreign Worker Recruitment and Immigration Services Act – SASKATCHEWAN – Employer Registration Certificate (no papers required, but employers must be registered).<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Note: The names of employers who have registered or received certification may be posted on a website by the province in place of a physical certificate in certain circumstances.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In a nutshell the process of submitting an LMIA has become incredibly laborious and time-consuming. Most people hire someone to finish the work for them because they lack the time, patience, or energy to do it themselves. Before requesting that a TFW come work for you, you must ensure that you have fulfilled all of the requirements and processes to locate a Canadian worker.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
