LIMA
The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document required by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect the Canadian labor market. For employers, obtaining an LMIA involves creating job descriptions, conducting recruitment efforts, and submitting a thorough application to justify the need for foreign talent. For foreign workers, the LMIA supports their work permit application with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), validating their employment in Canada. Calymer’s comprehensive LMIA services assist both employers and foreign workers through each step of the process, ensuring a smooth and successful application, and connecting global talent with Canadian opportunities.
