Understanding the Essence of LMIA

LMIA, a pivotal element in the Canadian work permit ecosystem, stands as a testament to Canada’s commitment to protecting its labor market.

Before employing a foreign worker, Canadian employers must navigate through the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), a meticulous process that assesses the potential impact of hiring a foreign worker on Canada’s employment landscape.
