Canada's Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a process designed to ensure that Canadian employers have first access to the labor market before hiring foreign workers. The assessment evaluates whether the employer's need for foreign workers is genuine, and whether hiring foreign workers would have any negative impact on the Canadian labor market.
The LMIA process helps ensure that the Canadian labor market remains fair and competitive. It prevents employers from using foreign workers to undercut Canadian wages and working conditions, and it ensures that Canadian workers have first access to available jobs. Additionally, it helps protect vulnerable workers, such as temporary foreign workers, by ensuring that they are treated fairly and provided with appropriate working conditions and wages.
Requirements
The LMIA process involves various requirements and criteria, such as ensuring that the job offer meets the prevailing wage rate for the occupation, that there is a shortage of Canadian workers for the position, and that the employer has made reasonable efforts to recruit Canadian workers before resorting to hiring foreign workers. In short the requirements are:
- Prevailing wage check.
- Canadian worker shortage.
- Recruitment efforts are made to hire canadian worker.
