If you’re a Canadian employer considering hiring someone from another country, you might be required to apply for LMIA (Labour
Market Impact Assessment) first. This article is here to help you understand everything about LMIA. We’ll explain how the process
works, what you need to do, the paperwork involved, how much it costs, when to expect things to happen, and what rules you must
follow. Plus, we’ll give you some tips to make your LMIA application successful and answer some common questions that Canadian
employers often have.

What is LMIA in Canada?

An LMIA is a document from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that a Canadian employer may need to obtain
before hiring a foreign worker. ESDC will assess how hiring a foreign worker might impact the job market in Canada. If it determines
the effect on the Canadian market is positive or neutral, ESDC will grant your company a positive decision (LMIA) to hire a foreign
worker. LMIA serves as a means for the government to ensure that bringing in a foreign worker does not negatively impact

Canadian workers.

Not all employers are required to apply for LMIA. Check if you can hire your foreign worker without LMIA through one of the
International Mobility Programs.

LMIA Processing Times in 2024

Generally, processing times can range from a few weeks to several months. ESDC updates processing times regularly to reflect
current conditions. Average processing times for February 2024:

Global Talent Stream: 1-2 weeks

Agricultural stream: 1-3 weeks

Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program: 1-2 weeks

Permanent resident stream: 3-4 months

High-wage stream: 2-3 months

Low-wage stream: 2-3 months

The Costs of Your LMIA Application

When considering the hiring of a foreign worker through an LMIA application, you should budget between $5,500 and $8,000 per
worker, as several costs are involved:

Advertisement Costs: If you are advertising on multiple paid platforms (which is recommended), your expected budget should
be around $500-$600.

LMIA Application Fee: The government fee for an LMIA application is $1,000 per employee.

Work Permit Fees: If you are covering your worker’s work permit application fees, be prepared to pay an additional $480-$550
to cover your worker’s application fees, biometric collection fees, and medical examination costs.

Legal Fees: Depending on the complexity of the case and the required legal assistance, fees can range from $3,000 to $7,000

per worker.

Note that this estimate does not include additional costs, such as the worker’s return airplane ticket to Canada, which may be
necessary depending on the job offer and the wages provided.

It is crucial for employers to understand that they are legally obligated to bear all costs related to the LMIA application. Canadian
law strictly prohibits employers from passing these costs on to foreign workers, whether directly or indirectly. This prohibition
includes charges for recruitment, job orientation, First Aid training, and any other related fees. Additionally, ensure that the
recruiters and third-party individuals assisting in hiring foreign workers do not charge any fees to foreign workers under any
pretext. Violating this regulation can lead to severe consequences, including the reimbursement of fees to the worker, a ban from
the foreign worker program, hefty penalties, and even criminal prosecution.

Approval Rate for LMIA in 2024

Based on our experience, established companies enjoy an average success rate of 95% for their LMIA applications. In contrast,
companies that have been operational for less than 12 months typically see success rates ranging between 65% and 85%. Several
factors can impact the success of your LMIA application, with improper or insufficient advertising being a frequent reason for
refusal. Additionally, an employer’s inability to meet the wage or other employment terms often leads to application denial. Seeking
advice from an experienced corporate immigration lawyer on your LMIA application can significantly improve your chances of
approval.

How to Identify the Correct NOC for Your LMIA

Application
The NOC, known as the National Occupational Classification, is Canada’s way of organizing the different jobs that Canadians do in
the job market. It gets updated every five years in collaboration with Statistics Canada to provide a standardized understanding of
the labour market. The latest version of the NOC was released in 2021. Employers interested in hiring foreign talent should begin by
choosing the appropriate NOC occupation. The NOC classification plays a crucial role in determining the prevailing wage and
influencing ESDC’s assessment of local job opportunities, which ultimately impacts the outcome of your LMIA application.
Furthermore, IRCC will use the NOC classification to understand employment requirements for your position and decide whether to
approve your request for a temporary foreign worker. To identify the correct NOC for your position, follow the steps below:

Search the NOC: Visit NOC 2021 and search your occupation by title.

Review multiple NOC options: Based on our experience, in most instances, you’ll find several NOC occupation classifications to
consider for each position. Given the extensive range of job titles in the 2021 NOC, along with considerable overlap among
them, selecting the right NOC entails carefully assessing the lead statements in the NOC, the listed job duties, and the
employment requirements. Do not just rely on the official job title when determining the most suitable NOC. It’s crucial to align
your job duties and the employment requirements with the duties and the job requirements listed in one or more relevant
NOCs.

Assess the local market conditions: Among other things, your NOC choice should consider the overall labour market situation
for each NOC occupation classification in the particular geographic region. You should research the labour market situation for
each potential NOC occupation (Job Bank Labour Market Information is a good starting point) and hopefully arrive at an NOC
occupation classification that is an accurate reflection of the proposed job offer and where there also is a recognized shortage
of local talent.

Confirm the minimum wage for the position: In addition to assessing the local labour market conditions, you must also ensure
that the prevailing wage for your chosen NOC occupation classification is within your budget (see Determining the Prevailing
Wage Rate below). Many employers set wages for foreign employees based on what others in their company earn or what the
applicant agrees to. However, to get a positive LMIA, you must offer the prevailing wage rate to the foreign worker. This
sometimes might mean paying your foreign talent more than your existing employees.

Ensure that your candidate meets the requirements for the NOC: Lastly, you must ensure that the proposed candidate satisfies
the employment requirements for the proposed NOC occupation classification. While ESDC will generally not evaluate whether
the foreign worker satisfies the employment requirements, the CBSA or Visa Officer who ultimately issues a Work Permit will no
doubt perform this evaluation. There is nothing more frustrating than having your foreign worker’s application to work in
Canada refused after you’ve gone through the hassle of securing a positive LMIA.

What Wage to Offer Your Foreign Worker

As an employer applying for an LMIA, you must ensure that the foreign worker receives at least the prevailing wage for the job and
location where the worker will work OR a wage you pay your current employees in the same job and location if it’s higher than the
prevailing wage. To check the prevailing wage for your position, follow the steps below:

Identify the relevant NOC occupation classification (discussed above).

Visit the Job Bank website, and in the Explore the Market section, select “by wages”. From there, type in the 4-digit NOC
classification.

You may then select the relevant options based on the geographic location. If there is no recorded wage for the relevant
occupation or the geographic region, refer to the Provincial and then National median wage.

The median wage is the wage that must be met. However, note that some ESDC officers have verbally indicated that where a
position is very senior, they may expect a higher wage salary to be offered.

If you are reluctant to offer the median wage to your foreign worker, your LMIA will fail. If you offer alternative forms of
compensation, such as commissions, for example, the base salary must meet the prevailing median wage rate. Also, note that
employers must review prevailing wages periodically and ensure that their foreign workers are paid the prevailing wage at the start
of and throughout their employment period.

How to Draft a Job Posting for Your LMIA Application

Drafting an effective job posting for your LMIA application is crucial for your LMIA application success. Many Canadian employers
make the mistake of drafting job postings based solely on their hiring needs, but it’s important to follow ESDC’s specific
requirements. Failure to comply with the program requirements could result in your application being rejected for “insufficient
recruitment efforts.” In summary, drafting an effective job posting for LMIA purposes requires strategic thinking and aligning your
company’s hiring needs with ESDC’s instructions, as well as IRCC’s requirements.

Your LMIA job posting must include the following information:

Company name and business address

Job title

Job duties (if advertising for multiple vacancies, specify duties for each). Do not just copy/paste duties from the NOC
occupation classification.

Employment terms (e.g., permanent, project-based)

Language requirements

Wage details (including any raises, performance pay, or bonuses):

A wage range can be provided, but the minimum wage must meet prevailing standards

Benefits offered (if applicable)

Work location(s) (local area, city, or town)

Number of positions

Contact details of the employer: email address, fax number, or mailing address

Skill requirements (including education and work experience)

How to Advertise Your Position for LMIA Application

When advertising for an LMIA, begin by registering your employer account on Job Bank, as all job advertisements must be posted
on the Job Bank (or its provincial/territorial equivalents) for at least four weeks and must remain active until the LMIA is granted.
Registering an employer account on Job Bank can take around 2 weeks, and it may take an additional 3-5 days for your job posting
to become active. Do not advertise on other sources without having your Job Bank advertisement active and live.

Once your job advertisement is active on Job Bank, you can then post your job ad on other sources. Although you are required to
post on 2 additional sources besides the Job Bank, having your job advertised on 3-4 additional platforms can act as a safety net. If
one source is deemed unacceptable, you can rely on the others to support your LMIA application. In our practice, we usually
advertise on at least 5 different platforms, including Job Bank. It’s crucial to target underrepresented groups in your advertising
efforts to meet the new, stricter requirements set by Service Canada and ESDC. This includes advertising on sources that target
groups such as Indigenous persons, vulnerable youth, newcomers, and persons with disabilities. The selection of advertising
platforms should be strategic, ensuring they are consistent with the occupation and target an audience with the appropriate
education, professional experience, or skill level required.

As an employer, you have the option to utilize various recruitment strategies, such as:

Print media, including national or provincial/territorial newspapers, magazines with national reach, specialized journals, and
newsletters from professional associations.

General employment websites (examples include Indeed.ca, canadastop100.com, vault.com, eluta.ca, glassdoor.ca, LinkedIn,
workopolis.com, monster.ca, etc.).

Occupation-specific websites tailored to particular fields like accounting, marketing, biotechnology, education, engineering, and
more.

However, make sure to diversify your recruitment efforts and avoid using advertising channels that target the same demographic.
For instance, do not use Workopolis.com and Monster.ca simultaneously or Craigslist and Kijiji to prevent overlap in audience
targeting.

In our practice, a job advertisement for an LMIA may look like this:

Job Bank – mandatory (Cost: Free)

Source 1: Canada-wide source: Indeed.ca, Monster Jobs, Glassdoor or Eluta.ca (Cost: $200-$600 for 4 weeks)

Source 2: Occupation-specific platform: company’s website, specialized platforms or print media

Source 3: Backup Job Posting: Allstarjobs.ca (Cost: $40 for 90 days)

Source 4: Vulnerable Group 1: Newcomers and new immigrants: newimmigrantjobs.ca (approx. $50)

Source 5: Vulnerable Group 2: Aboriginal groups ($117 per job posting)

Some additional tips:

Maintain consistent proof of advertisement: Ensure that all your ads, including those on Job Bank, run simultaneously for 4
weeks. Collect evidence of your job postings weekly. You must submit documentation with your LMIA application showing that
the job was advertised for at least four consecutive weeks with no gaps. This is crucial, as even a single day’s gap can
jeopardize the LMIA application.

Be proactive with Job Bank: If a post is nearing its end date, renew it promptly to prevent any advertising gaps. This will help
maintain continuous proof should ESDC review your recruitment efforts.

Be proactive with documentation: Don’t wait until the end of the advertising period to gather proof. Some websites may refresh
posts, which can make it appear as though the advertisement wasn’t up for the full 4 weeks. Weekly, timestamped screenshots
are invaluable for providing the necessary evidence.

By following these tips, you can demonstrate to ESDC that you have made a bona fide effort to fill your job vacancy domestically
before seeking to hire foreign workers through the LMIA process.

How to Demonstrate Talent Shortage for Your LMIA

Application
Once you complete the advertising campaign for your position across multiple platforms, meticulously review the applications
received. Begin by recording the total number of local candidates who applied. Then, narrow your list to the top 10 candidates and
initiate a telephone screening to gauge their interest and suitability for the role. Be sure to document the date and time of each
screening call. Following this, invite the top three candidates for a formal interview. Should these candidates not fulfill the job
requirements, consider interviewing an additional two to three candidates from your shortlist.

It’s a common misconception among employers that offering a job to a local candidate precludes proceeding with an LMIA
application. This “all or nothing” belief is unfounded. You can continue with your LMIA application even after hiring a local candidate
for the position. A positive LMIA decision can serve as a contingency for up to 12 months, providing flexibility should issues arise
with your new hire or additional vacancies emerge. In practice, hiring locally can actually bolster your LMIA application and improve
your chances of approval.

Finally, it’s crucial to document your recruitment efforts comprehensively. If you’re unsure how to proceed, consider downloading
our free Recruitment Efforts Report template for guidance.

How to Submit Your LMIA Application

To apply for an LMIA, employers must collect and submit various documents to ESDC, which can now be completed online using
the ESDC portal for employers. The specific documents required vary depending on the LMIA stream (e.g., high-wage, low-wage,
agricultural, caregiver, etc.) but generally include the following:

LMIA Application Form: A completed and signed application form for the specific LMIA stream you are applying for.

Business Legitimacy Documents: Documents that prove the legitimacy and legal status of your business, such as a business
license, incorporation documents, and tax documents.

Job Offer Letter: A detailed job offer letter to the foreign worker outlining job duties, wages, conditions of employment, and
other relevant details.

Recruitment Efforts Documentation: Evidence of job advertisements across various platforms (e.g., Job Bank, other job boards,
print media), and your Recruitment Efforts Report, outlining the number of applicants and reasons for not hiring them
(download sample here).

Transition Plan: For high-wage positions, a plan detailing how the employer intends to reduce reliance on temporary foreign
workers in the future.

Processing Fee: $1,000 per worker, required for most types of LMIAs.

Union Consultation (if applicable): If the job is in a unionized position, proof of consultation with the union.

Additional Documents for Specific Streams: Depending on the LMIA stream, additional documents may be required. For example,
agricultural and low-wage LMIA streams have specific requirements regarding housing arrangements and transportation plans for
workers.

How to Prepare for Your Interview with the ESDC

Officer for Your LMIA Application
An LMIA interview with an ESDC officer is a critical step in the process of hiring a foreign worker. You should approach this
interview with thorough preparation and a clear understanding of your business needs, as well as the specifics of the job position
you are looking to fill. Here are some helpful tips for employers to get ready for their LMIA interview:

Who should attend the interview with ESDC? Appoint a person from your company who has a deep understanding of your
business and its operations. This individual should be prepared to discuss the specifics of the job role, the necessity for a foreign
worker, and the efforts made to recruit domestically. Additionally, having your legal representative present during the interview
can be highly beneficial. They can provide clarity and support in answering any legal questions posed by ESDC officers,
ensuring that your responses are accurate and comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Have your documents ready: documentation and detailed records are your best allies. Ensure you have all relevant information
at your fingertips, including your legal and operating names, Business Number (BN), and contact details. Be prepared to discuss
your recruitment efforts in detail: where you advertised the position, the number of applicants, the interview process, and
specifically why Canadian applicants were not suitable or could not be trained for the position. This includes providing a
breakdown of the qualifications, experience, and skills you are seeking and how the applicants did not meet these criteria.

Practice interview questions: Lastly, practice interview questions in advance with your legal representative. You must be able to
clearly explain how hiring a foreign worker will benefit your business, such as filling a labour shortage, leading to job creation or
retention of Canadian employees, or facilitating the transfer of skills or knowledge. You can practice your answers by
downloading our complimentary guide featuring Practice Interview Questions with ESDC Officers.

Remember, the goal of the LMIA interview is to ensure that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the Canadian labor
market. Demonstrating a genuine need for a foreign worker, backed by thorough documentation and a clear understanding of your
business and the job role, will help make your case compelling to the ESDC officer.

How to Support Your Foreign Worker’s Application to

Work in Canada
Supporting your foreign worker’s application to work in Canada is a critical step in ensuring their successful entry and integration
into the Canadian workforce. The IRCC is the final authority responsible for processing work permit applications, the final step that
follows the LMIA approval. It’s important to recognize that IRCC may reject an application if they are not convinced of the worker’s
ability to perform the job. After investing time and resources in obtaining an LMIA, it would be highly disappointing to see the work
permit application fail. To mitigate this risk, provide your worker with a comprehensive job offer that clearly outlines the duties,
terms, conditions, and wages of the position.

In addition to a detailed job offer, providing your worker with a letter of support can significantly bolster their application. This
letter should articulate why you believe the candidate possesses the necessary skills for the job and detail the process used to
assess these skills. If language barriers exist, make sure to address how the worker can effectively perform their duties despite
limited language proficiency. In your letter, explain any accommodations or support systems your workplace offers to help
overcome language challenges, such as language training programs, the presence of bilingual staff, or other resources that facilitate
communication. By taking these steps, you not only enhance the chances of a successful work permit application but also
demonstrate your commitment to supporting your foreign worker’s transition into your company and Canada’s labour market.

Employer Requirements for LMIA

LMIA requirements are extensive and can be hard to meet. If you are a Canadian employer who wants to hire foreign nationals who
do not have a right to work in Canada, you will need to receive an LMIA approval. Below are the three most important requirements:

The first requirement for all employers is to show evidence that they have attempted to search for qualified domestic workers
who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. You have no choice but to hire foreign workers because you cannot find
suitable talent.

The second requirement depends on whether you plan to hire a high-wage or a low-wage employee. If you plan on paying your

foreign workers above the province’s median wage, they will be classed as high-wage for LMIA purposes. They will be classified
as low-wage workers if paid below your province’s median wage.

The third requirement entails inspecting compliance with regulations and reporting on the Transition Plan’s progress. This
requirement is only applicable to employers that have already been employing foreign workers under LMIA.

Hiring High-Wage Workers: Requirements

If you plan on employing a high-wage LMIA foreign worker, you must present the Transition Plan with your LMIA application. The
Transition Plan outlines the employer’s measurable commitments to help the foreign employee transition into the domestic
workforce during their employment with the Canadian employer and/or show a reduction in reliance on foreign talent.

You can do so by recruiting, retraining, and/or upskilling workers who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Employers can
also show how they are helping their high-skilled temporary foreign workers to become permanent residents in Canada.

Median Hourly Wages by Province +

Hiring Low-Wage Workers: Requirements

If you plan on employing a low-wage foreign worker, you are not required to submit the Transition Plan. However, your ability to
hire foreign workers will be subject to a cap that the Government of Canada places to limit the number of low-wage temporary
foreign workers.

If your company has 10 or more employees, the allowable proportion of temporary foreign workers you can employ is 20%. For
applications that are submitted between 30 April 2022 and 30 August 2024, employers hiring workers in the following sectors and
sub-sectors are eligible for a cap limit of 30%:

Construction (NAICS 23)

Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311)

Wood Product Manufacturing (NAICS 321)

Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing (NAICS 337)

Hospitals (NAICS 622)

Nursing and Residential Care Facilities (NAICS 623)

Accommodation and Food Services (NAICS 72)

You must cover the costs of transportation to Canada at the beginning of the work period and return to the home country of your
temporary foreign worker. You must also ensure suitable and affordable housing for your workers.

LMIA: Frequently Asked Questions

Below, you will find answers to the most common questions about labour market impact assessment.

Who is Eligible for LMIA?

Almost all Canadian employers can be eligible for an LMIA; however, here are some of the requirements:

You are capable of paying your foreign workers

Your business has a real need for foreign workers

Your business hasn’t fired anyone in the past year

You must have a legitimate business

You must provide goods or services

Your requirements may vary depending on your business and long-term plans of employing international talent.

Who Will Pay for LMIA in Canada?

Employers are responsible to cover all expenses associated with the LMIA application process. Under Canadian legislation, it is
explicitly forbidden for employers to transfer any of these costs to foreign workers, either directly or indirectly. It is also important
to ensure that recruiters and any third parties involved in the recruitment of foreign workers refrain from imposing any charges on
these workers for any reason. Breaching this rule can result in serious consequences, such as the obligation to refund fees to the
worker, exclusion from the foreign worker program, substantial fines, and the possibility of facing legal action.

What if my foreign worker quits or underperforms?

When faced with the situation of a foreign worker either quitting or underperforming, it’s essential to approach the matter as you
would with any Canadian employee. The process for addressing underperformance should be consistent across your workforce. The
primary difference when dealing with a foreign worker lies in the additional responsibility of notifying Canadian immigration
authorities and the ESDC office, especially if an LMIA was obtained before hiring. Upon termination, notify the local ESDC office and
IRCC in writing, including the employee’s LMIA number. Await confirmation letters from both agencies and retain these documents
in the employee’s file. This approach safeguards both your business and the rights of the foreign worker.

LMIA to Support Permanent Residency Application

LMIA can serve two purposes: it can help employers fill a job vacancy, or it can be used strategically to retain foreign workers by
supporting their application for permanent residence. Employers have two main options to support their workers’ applications for
permanent residence in Canada. The first option is to apply for a “dual purpose LMIA.” This type of LMIA allows employers to hire a
foreign national to fill a job vacancy and simultaneously support their application for permanent residence. This LMIA is processed
in the same way as a regular LMIA. The second option is the “permanent residence stream,” which is specifically designed for
employers who want to support their workers’ applications for permanent residence only. This stream is fee-exempt, meaning
employers can support their foreign workers’ permanent residence applications without any charge. Typically, in this scenario, the
foreign national is already working for the Canadian employer on an open work permit and requires an LMIA to confirm arranged
employment. This confirmation can help them gain extra points in their permanent residence application.

How Many Points for LMIA under the Express Entry program?
For a successful LMIA application, a foreign worker can receive 50 or 200 points for specific senior positions under the
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). These points apply to foreign workers’ FSW, FST, and CEC program applications.

How Can I Get an LMIA From an Employer?

If you are a foreign national and have an offer of employment from a Canadian company, you don’t need to seek an LMIA. The
employer will have to apply for it and receive it. However, workers who wish to gain permanent residency status in Canada may use
the LMIA approval from their employer to support their permanent residency application.

What About Owner-Operator LMIA?

Foreign nationals can create and fill their job vacancy under Owner-Operator LMIA. It involves creating or acquiring a company or
part of it in Canada. Following this, the owner-operator will have to obtain a work permit. Under the Owner-Operator LMIA, the
applicant must also adhere to the same requirements as employers do under the LMIA. Make sure to learn about the changes to the
Owner-Operator LMIA program, which we suggest you read to understand this pathway better.

All LMIAs, including the Owner-Operator LMIAs, are issued by the ESDC.

What Happens if LMIA is Approved?

If your LMIA application is approved, this means that your application sufficiently proves your need to hire a foreign worker to fill a
specific job that no Canadian or PR resident can fulfill at the time. To complete the process of hiring your foreign worker, you must
give your employees a copy of the LMIA Confirmation Letter, job offer letter, and LMIA number so they can apply for a work permit.

How Long is LMIA Work Permit Valid For?

Work permits that require LMIA are valid for up to 3 years. The length of the work permit will largely depend on the work permit
type, the job characteristics, and the employment location. The Canadian government can issue work permits that are either longer
in duration or shorter, depending on one’s case.

How Can I Get LMIA Work Permit?

To get an LMIA work permit, your Canadian employer must first apply for the LMIA with the ESDC. If the application is approved,
the foreign worker can initiate the application process for a work permit. The foreign worker must meet all the requirements for a
work permit to work in Canada. LMIA approval is not enough to bring a foreign worker to Canada.

Is LMIA Free?
LMIA process is not free. If a company applies for an LMIA, they will have to pay $1000 per application. However, there are
exceptions where employers may pay less. These are dependant on the salary of the position as well as the immigration program.
