Here we are trying to get you to know our experience about Express Entry PR, PNP PR, LMIA, which are currently possible for Canada Migration
LMIAs are an important component of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Find how some Canadian employers can hire temporary foreign workers faster thanks to the IRCC's 10-business-day service standard.
To help Canadian employers fill labour and skills gaps in their organizations when there are no qualified and available Canadians or permanent residents (PR), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) operates the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).
Employers hiring foreign talent must complete a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that the hire will have a positive or neutral effect on the Canadian labour market as a condition of the work permits provided through this programme.
LMIAs took more than 21 business days on average to process across the seven streams covered by IRCC in December 2022. The Global Talent Stream, Agricultural Stream, Permanent Residence Stream, High-wage Stream, Low-wage Stream, In-home Caregivers Stream, and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program are among these streams.
However, in the three cases listed below, the processing time of an LMIA can be expedited to 10 business days.
Note : Despite the accelerated processing time, employers in the following categories must still meet all of the standard programme requirements used to evaluate TFWP applications.
Employers hiring foreign workers in the following skilled trades — deemed essential for infrastructure development and natural resource extraction, thus qualifying as vital to Canadian economic growth — and offering a wage at or above the median wage in the province or territory where the job is located are eligible for the expedited 10 business day service standard.
