What is an LMIA?
An LMIA is a document a Canadian employer may need before hiring a temporary foreign worker. It helps show whether the hire may affect Canada's labour market.

- A positive LMIA can support a closed work permit application.
Employer details may include
- Business registration and operating information.
- Job title, duties, wage and work location.
- Recruitment efforts and labour-market details.
- Financial or business documents where needed.
Worker documents may include
- Passport and identity documents.
- Resume, experience letters and qualifications.
- Job offer and employment contract.
- Proof that the worker meets role requirements.
