LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT (LMIA)

 

 A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) can support a work permit application and show that there is a need for you to work in a specific role in Canada. The LMIA shows that there are no other Canadian workers available to perform your job and therefore you are needed to fill the role. The LMIA process can be used to bring senior executives to Canada on a temporary or permanent basis.

The Owner-Operator LMIA is one of the most useful tools for Business Immigrants who can meet the Express Entry requirements.
