A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada\u00a0may<\/strong>\u00a0need to get before hiring a foreign worker.\u00a0A positive LMIA 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. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Employer Responsibility” url=”https:\/\/www.opentocanada.com\/study\/post-secondary-pathway-programs\/” url_new_window=”on” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#E02B20″ image_icon_width=”60px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”Exo|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”22px” header_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” animation_style=”zoom” animation_delay=”100ms” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#dddddd” border_style_all=”solid” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#dddddd” icon_font_size=”60px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a0Apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to determine if they can hire a foreign worker to fill labour or skills shortages on a temporary basis.\u00a0 Employers need to understand the various streams for hiring temporary foreign workers in order to determine which program will help them meet their particular needs.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Employee Responsibility” url=”https:\/\/www.opentocanada.com\/study\/international-student-mobility-programs\/” url_new_window=”on” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#E02B20″ image_icon_width=”60px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”Exo|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#353740″ header_font_size=”22px” header_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” animation_style=”zoom” animation_delay=”200ms” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#dddddd” border_style_all=”solid” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#dddddd” icon_font_size=”60px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.
