Overview
Guidance for Canadian employers on LMIA requirements, recruitment documentation and work permit-related processes.
How we can help
We can discuss your circumstances, help identify relevant program requirements, and guide you through documentation and application planning. Eligibility depends on current government rules and your individual situation.
For Canadian employers
An LMIA may be required before hiring a foreign worker. Requirements vary by stream and situation, and not every work permit requires an LMIA.
Program rules, fees, processing times and eligibility can change. Please confirm current requirements before applying. This overview is not a determination of eligibility.
