Are you a foreign worker aspiring to contribute your skills and expertise to the Canadian workforce? Altima Immigration is your trusted partner in navigating the LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) process, ensuring a smooth and efficient pathway to secure employment in Canada.

Why LMIA Visa?

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial step in the process of hiring foreign workers in Canada. It serves to assess the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labor market, ensuring that the employment of a foreign national does not negatively affect job opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Key Features of the LMIA Visa:

  1. Employer Sponsorship: The LMIA process requires the sponsorship of a Canadian employer who must demonstrate a genuine need for hiring a foreign worker to fill a specific job position.
  2. Job Offer Validation: The LMIA validates the job offer, confirming that the employer has made efforts to recruit Canadians for the position and has not found a suitable candidate.
  3. Occupation-Specific: The LMIA process is occupation-specific, and the employer must adhere to specific requirements related to wages, working conditions, and other factors.
  4. LMIA Exemptions: Some job categories and circumstances are exempt from the LMIA requirement, such as workers covered by international agreements, intra-company transferees, and certain individuals in research or entertainment.

After an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is approved for Canada, the employer provides the foreign worker with the approved LMIA and a job offer. The foreign worker then uses these documents to apply for a work permit from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The work permit
application undergoes processing, and upon approval, the foreign worker can travel to Canada and begin working for the specified employer. The work permit is temporary and has a specific validity period. Throughout their temporary residency, the foreign worker must adhere to the conditions of the work permit
and comply with Canadian immigration regulations. It’s crucial for both the employer and the foreign worker to stay updated on immigration policies to ensure a smooth transition to working in Canada.

After a work permit application supported by an approved LMIA in Canada:

  1. Work Permit Issuance: Upon approval, the foreign worker is issued a work permit by IRCC.
  2. Travel and Commencement: The worker travels to Canada and starts working for the specified employer as outlined in the LMIA and job offer.
  3. Compliance: The worker must adhere to the conditions of the work permit, including working for the approved employer, following job offer terms, and staying within the authorized period.
  4. Extensions or Changes: For changes to employment or extension of stay, the worker may need to apply for a new work permit or extension before the current permit expires.
  5. Permanent Residency: Workers may explore pathways to permanent residency, such as Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs.
  6. Departure or Transition: At the permit's end, options include returning home, applying for an
    extension, or seeking permanent residency for a longer stay in Canada.

Staying informed about immigration policies is vital for a successful and compliant stay, in which ALTIMA
IMMIGRATION can happily assist you over a free consultation call.
