What is a Labour Market Impact Assessment?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers need before hiring foreign workers. It confirms that hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labour market.
Why You Need an LMIA
Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) requires proof that no Canadian worker is available to fill the position before approving a work permit for a foreign national. An approved LMIA demonstrates this need.
Required for most work permits
Foreign workers need an approved LMIA to apply for their work permit

Can support permanent residency
Some LMIAs can help foreign workers qualify for PR programs
