Work Visa

A Canada LMIA work visa refers to a work permit that requires a positive Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). We Give you brief summary of the process:

1. LMIA Application: The employer in Canada must apply to ESDC for an LMIA, which involves demonstrating that there is a need to hire a foreign worker due to a lack of available Canadian citizens or permanent residents for the position.

2. Advertising and Recruitment: The employer is typically required to advertise the job locally for a specified period to ensure that no qualified Canadians or permanent residents are available for the position.

3. LMIA Approval: If ESDC approves the LMIA application, it confirms that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market. The employer receives a positive LMIA, which is a crucial document for the work permit application.

4. Work Permit Application: Once the employer has the positive LMIA, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit. They need to provide the necessary documents, including the positive LMIA, a job offer letter, and proof of qualifications.

5. Work Permit Issuance: If the work permit application is approved, the foreign worker is issued a work permit that specifies the employer, the duration of work, and any specific conditions.

It's important to note that the LMIA process can be complex, and there may be additional requirements and considerations depending on the specific situation.
