Expert LMIA Services for Canadian Immigration
Welcome to Guardian Nanny & Immigration Services, where we specialize in providing expert guidance through the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process. As experienced immigration consultants, we assist Canadian employers and individuals in navigating the requirements for hiring foreign workers.
What is LMIA?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document required by Canadian employers who wish to hire foreign workers. It assesses the impact of employing a foreign national on the Canadian labor market. A positive LMIA indicates a need for a foreign worker to fill a specific job role because no Canadian worker is available. This process is crucial for ensuring that the employment of foreign workers does not negatively affect job opportunities for Canadians.
Before hiring a Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW), businesses must first receive approval from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) in the form of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This LMIA is required in many cases before the foreign worker can apply for a work permit. The process involves several requirements that need to be met to gain approval to hire a TFW.
The LMIA process can take anywhere from a couple of months up to six months or more, depending on the volume of applications that Service Canada is dealing with at any given time. Additionally, the foreign worker will need time to get their work permit approved, meaning the entire process can take several months. Processing times change regularly, so being prepared, planning ahead, and giving yourself enough time will ultimately be less stressful for everyone involved.
