Labour Market Impact Assessment

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers may need to obtain before hiring a foreign worker. An LMIA is issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and serves to demonstrate that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker is available to do the job. A positive LMIA, often referred to as a confirmation letter, indicates that hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labor market.

Types of LMIA

High-Wage and Low-Wage Positions

Covers jobs offering wages either at or above (high-wage) or below (low-wage) the median hourly wage for the province or territory, with specific requirements for each category based on regional wage standards.
