Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT (LMIA)

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document of certification considered a prerequisite by the Canadian Government in case businesses or individuals need to employ a foreign worker in Canada. It approves and sanctions the need for a foreign worker to fill a job that a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident cannot easily fill.

It helps protect the rights of the Canadian Labour Market and the Temporary Foreign Workers who come to Canada to make a living for themselves. It is imperative for the Canadian Government to first approve the LMIA applications before any foreign worker can take up work here.


Labour Market Impact Assessment can be complex and laborious for anyone. It requires regular broad-based communication with several governmental departments, including the ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada), TFWP (Temporary Foreign Worker Program) and/or the IMWU (International Mobility Worker Unit). But we here at PGL Canadian Immigration Services Ltd. have a team of experts at hand, ready to look after all your needs and to help fill out the application with high chances of approval.

Pre-Approvals to Hire Foreign Workers

You can also choose to apply for LMIA pre-approvals. These are for a business expecting to recruit for extended periods in a particular field. It is only "in principle" approval. A successful pre-approval means that any foreign individual can be recruited to fill a position with higher hopes of acceptance for LMIA. But it is not person-specific. Once the approval is attained, person-specific LMIA has to be obtained as well.
