LMIA

What is an LMIA?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers when no qualified Canadians are available. A positive LMIA confirms that hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labor market.

At Manhas Immigration, we assist both employers and workers in navigating the LMIA process to ensure compliance with government regulations and a successful application.

How an LMIA Can Lead to Permanent Residency

An approved LMIA can help foreign workers transition to permanent residency through programs like:

1. Express Entry & LMIA

A job offer supported by a positive LMIA can add valuable points to an applicant’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the Express Entry system, increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

2. Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows Canadian employers to hire skilled foreign workers for temporary positions. Depending on the occupation and job offer, some workers may later qualify for permanent residence.

3. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) & LMIA

Many provinces have PNP streams that prioritize workers with an LMIA-backed job offer. This provides a direct pathway to obtaining permanent residency while contributing to the local economy.
