Labour Market Impact Assessment
Any Employer looking for hiring a Foreign Worker on Temporary or Permanent basis needs to get that Job Position assessed and approved from ‘Service Canada’. This is mandatory and has to be done. The official term for this approval is called as LMIA – Labour Market Impact Assessment.
LMIA was formerly known as LMO (Labour Market Opinion). There are a number of requirements for an organization to qualify for and obtain a Positive Approval/Confirmation LMIA. Some examples of these requirements are:

LMIA and Canada Work Permit – The Connection
For any work-related immigration, getting a Labour Market Impact Assessment from your future employer is essential. It is quite notable here that the approval of an LMIA does not guarantee the grant of a Work Permit to an applicant. The Canada Work Permit application is processed and decided upon by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) at the corresponding Visa Office (Overseas) or a local Case Processing Centre in Canada; in case the applicant is already present in Canada. So it is the CIC who evaluates the Work Permit Applicant on various parameters such as:
As mentioned, the Work Permit applicant has to qualify on his/her own merits despite the positive confirmation/approval of LMIA. This is only a step within the entire immigration process.
