LMIA /Job Offer

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada must obtain before hiring a foreign worker. The LMIA confirms that there is no Canadian citizen or permanent resident available to fill the job. A job offer from a Canadian employer is required to support a work permit application. The employer must provide a detailed job offer, including job duties, wages, and benefits. A positive LMIA and a valid job offer are essential for a foreign worker to obtain a work permit in Canada.
