    LMIA Closed Work Permit

    The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a critical component in Canada's work permit process, for employers seeking to hire foreign workers. This assessment is used to determine the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labor market. Once a Closed LMIA is issued, it is tied to a specific job, employer, and location. The foreign worker can only work for the employer named in the LMIA and must meet all the conditions outlined in the job offer and the LMIA.

    Eligibility Assessment

    We conduct a thorough evaluation of the applicant's qualifications and the employer's specific needs to accurately determine eligibility for a Closed Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), ensuring compliance with immigration requirements.

    Application Preparation & Recruitment support

    We assist employers in preparing LMIA applications and guide the recruitment process, demonstrating efforts to hire Canadian citizens or permanent residents, including job advertisements and candidate screening.

    Work Permit Application

    Once the LMIA is approved, we gather all required documents from you and proceed with the work permit application, ensuring all paperwork is complete and accurate for a smooth and efficient process.
