Canadian employers who wish to hire a foreign worker must often first obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Service Canada (ESDC). A positive LMIA confirms that there is no Canadian or permanent resident available to fill the position and that hiring a foreign national will not negatively impact Canada’s labour market.
At VM Immigration Services, we assist employers with end-to-end LMIA preparation and compliance, ensuring all documentation, advertising, and employment terms meet the rigorous standards set by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and IRCC.
A Labour Market Impact Assessment is a mandatory regulatory step under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) for most employer-specific work permit applications. Once a positive LMIA is issued, the foreign worker may apply for a work permit under section 203 of IRPR.
LMIA-based offers can also enhance a foreign worker’s eligibility for permanent residence under the Express Entry system, by awarding additional CRS points for a valid, supported job offer.
Our team develops LMIA submissions that are comprehensive, legally compliant, and aligned with current regulatory standards, ensuring employers meet all Service Canada and IRCC obligations. We focus on accuracy and procedural integrity to minimize the risk of refusal, audit exposure, or non-compliance penalties, while supporting your workforce goals efficiently
We also work closely with foreign workers and their representatives to align work permit and PR applications with approved LMIAs, facilitating smooth transitions from temporary to permanent status.
If you are a Canadian employer planning to hire a foreign national, begin with a legally sound LMIA strategy. Trust VM Immigration Services to navigate Service Canada’s regulatory requirements and facilitate your hiring objectives with confidence.
