Canada Work Permit Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
Labour Market Opinions and Canadian Work Permits
Did you know: The majority of Canadian Work Permits require what is called a Labour Market Opinion (LMO). A LMO is a petition from the Canadian employer (or prepared on their behalf by a legal representative) to Service Canada to bring a foreign worker into Canada to fill a labour shortage. Ultimately it is up to Service Canada to determine if bringing in a foreign worker would have a positive or negative impact on the Canadian Labour Market.
Service Canada evaluates a number of factors but the main factor they consider is whether there is a suitable Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident to fill the position.
But just remember, it all starts with a Canadian job offer and we do not arrange employment for our clients. But once you have secured your Canadian job offer please contact us to work with you and your future employer to get you to Canada as quickly as possible!
Sincerely,
The Canadim Team!
