LMIA Services

At Globelink Management & Consultancy Services Ltd, we specialize in providing comprehensive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) services to help Canadian employers hire qualified foreign workers when no suitable Canadians are available. Whether you are a business in need of skilled labor or an individual seeking to work in Canada, our expert team will guide you through the LMIA process smoothly and efficiently.

What is LMIA?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that Canadian employers must obtain before hiring a foreign worker. It is issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to ensure that hiring a foreign national will not negatively impact Canada’s labor market. An LMIA confirms that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job, and no Canadian workers are available to do so.

Our LMIA Services

At Globelink Management & Consultancy Services Ltd, we offer tailored LMIA solutions for businesses and foreign workers:

  • Employer LMIA Application Support
    Our experienced consultants work closely with Canadian employers to prepare and submit strong LMIA applications. We assist with:

    • Job advertising strategies to meet government requirements.
    • Completing and submitting all required documents to ESDC.
    • Handling follow-ups with authorities for quicker processing.

  • LMIA for High-Wage and Low-Wage Positions
    Whether you’re hiring for high-wage positions or low-wage roles, we guide you through the specific requirements for each category to ensure compliance with federal standards.

How LMIA Benefits Employers and Foreign Workers

For employers, a positive LMIA allows them to hire much-needed foreign talent, enabling business growth and productivity.

For foreign workers, securing a job offer with an LMIA helps with:

  • Work permits: A positive LMIA is a crucial step for obtaining a Canadian work permit.
  • Permanent Residency Pathways: Candidates can improve their chances of qualifying for Express Entry by earning extra Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points through a job offer backed by an LMIA.

Frequently Asked Question

The processing time for an LMIA can vary depending on factors such as the type of job and the specific program under which you are applying. On average, it can take 8 to 29 business days. Globelink Management & Consultancy Services Ltd works diligently to ensure all documentation is completed correctly to avoid unnecessary delays.

A positive LMIA means that Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has approved the employer's request to hire a foreign worker. It confirms that hiring the foreign worker is necessary, and there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available for the job.

There are several types of LMIA, including:

  • High-Wage LMIA: For positions where the wage offered is above the provincial or territorial median wage.
  • Low-Wage LMIA: For positions where the wage offered is below the median wage.
  • LMIA for Skilled Workers: For jobs that require specific skills as per the National Occupation Classification (NOC) system.
  • Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) LMIA: For temporary jobs.

Yes, a positive LMIA can help improve your chances of obtaining permanent residency. If you are in the Express Entry pool, a job offer backed by an LMIA can give you an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, significantly boosting your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

To obtain an LMIA, employers must:

  • Prove that they have made efforts to recruit Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
  • Show that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the local job market.
  • Offer wages and working conditions that meet provincial or federal standards.
  • Provide detailed information about the job and demonstrate that they are financially capable of hiring a foreign worker.

At Globelink Management & Consultancy Services Ltd, we offer comprehensive support throughout the LMIA process. Our services include:

  • Assisting employers with the preparation and submission of LMIA applications.
  • Guiding both employers and workers through the legal requirements.
  • Ensuring compliance with federal regulations to avoid delays or rejections.

Yes, an LMIA can be denied if the employer fails to meet the requirements set by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Common reasons for denial include inadequate recruitment efforts, offering wages below market standards, or incomplete documentation. At Globelink, we work closely with employers to avoid such issues and improve the chances of a successful LMIA application.
