| Online LMIA |
Let us explains the what is LMIA system for work permits in Canada, including who is eligible and how to apply for one.
LMIA stands for A Labor Market Impact Assessment is a document provided by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that certifies that the job in question cannot be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, resulting in the need to hire a foreign national. The online LMIA application makes it easy for any Canadian employer to identify potential employees and start hiring.
For foreign workers in Canada or Canadian companies looking to review the employment criteria and laws controlling the hiring process, the LMIA online application is a great resource.
Positive and negative LMIAs are the two types of LMIA. If your LMIA is
positive, you will be able to hire a foreign worker. A negative LMIA will not
be granted until and until the Canadian government finds a solution.
A confirmation letter is a name given to a positive LMIA. A positive LMIA indicates that a foreign worker is required to fill the position. It will also reveal that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is qualified for the job
The worker can apply for a work permit once the employer receives the LMIA. A worker must meet specific requirements to apply for a work permit
1.
A contract,
2.
an employment offer letter,

Under the eight (8) primary streams, Canadian firms can apply for a
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to hire a foreign worker. The type
of LMIA you choose is essential. It will identify which conditions must be
met, such as an employer's eligibility, job postings, and which application
forms must be filed.
