A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA or a confirmation letter is issued from Employment and Social Development Canada that gives the employer permission to hire a temporary worker. It will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job.

If the employer needs an LMIA, they must apply for one. Once an employer gets the LMIA, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit. To apply for a work permit, please refer our Work Permit page

The LMIA application process depends on the type of program the employer is hiring through:

• High-wage workers 

• Low-wage workers

• Workers through the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program 

• Workers through the Agricultural Stream
