The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a Canadian work permit process that determines the effect of offers of employment to foreign workers on the Canadian labor market and local workers.Whenever a Canadian employer intends to offer a job to a foreign worker, it needs to justify that no Canadian citizen or PR qualifies for the job vacancy and the required skills, education and experience are so unique that they can be only be fulfilled by a foreign worker. The LMIA work permit is almost a certain pathway to permanent residence and finally citizenship and therefore commands very high demand in the market.
