LMIA questions, straight answers

What is an LMIA and do I need one to hire a foreign worker?+

An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is a document from Employment and Social Development Canada showing that hiring a temporary foreign worker will not negatively affect the Canadian labour market. Most employers hiring under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program need a positive LMIA before the worker can apply for a work permit.

How long does LMIA processing take?+

LMIA processing time depends on the stream and shifts with Service Canada's volume. Global Talent Stream files can move faster, while high-wage and low-wage applications take longer. We track the current times and keep you posted.

How much does an LMIA cost?+

The government LMIA application fee is $1,000 per position. Most local businesses also budget a flat professional fee for preparing the Labour Market Impact Assessment. We quote the full amount before we start, so there are no hourly surprises.
