Labour Market Impact Assessment requirements are different according to the province and nature of work.
What is an LMIA?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to assess the impact foreign workers have on the Canadian labour market. Previously known as a Labour Market Opinion (LMO), an LMIA is required for employers before hiring foreign workers to demonstrate that they have not been successful in hiring a local workforce during the recruitment process.

The fastest and safest way is to work with a licensed LMIA consultant. Immigration Pros ensures your application is error-free and submitted correctly the first time, avoiding costly delays.
Yes. While most provinces follow the same process, Quebec requires an additional CAQ step. Immigration Pros helps you navigate these differences to prevent rejection and wasted time.
No, LMIA consultants and LMIA lawyers are not the same. LMIA consultants are licensed professionals who provide guidance and assistance with the LMIA application process, while LMIA lawyers are legal professionals who can offer legal advice and represent clients in legal matters related to LMIA and immigration issues. Both can be valuable resources, but their roles and qualifications differ.
Employers who cannot find Canadians to fill a position can apply. But the process is strict — Immigration Pros ensures your application meets government standards, maximizing approval chances.

The Canadian government charges $1,000 CAD per LMIA application, per position. This fee is strictly for processing, is non-refundable, and must be paid regardless of whether the application is approved or refused.
In addition to the government fee, employers may also incur separate consultant or legal fees if they choose to hire an immigration consultant or lawyer to prepare and submit the application.
No, it’s not easy. Employers must prove there are no Canadians for the role, and mistakes often cause rejections. Immigration Pros simplifies the process and acts as your shortcut to success.
It can take weeks to months depending on Service Canada’s volume. To speed things up, your application must be flawless. Immigration Pros ensures everything is complete and compliant, avoiding unnecessary delays.
Immigration consultant or legal fees for an LMIA application can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the employer’s specific needs, and the level of support required. Factors such as the type of position, the amount of documentation and recruitment involved, and whether additional services like job advertising or compliance assistance are included can all influence the overall cost.
No. Canadian immigration consultants (RCICs) can legally handle LMIA applications at a lower cost than lawyers.
An LMIA is valid for 6 months. But waiting too long can put your worker’s status at risk. Immigration Pros makes sure you move forward quickly and don’t lose your approval.
Yes. Common reasons include incomplete job postings, errors in the application, or lack of proof. Immigration Pros helps you avoid these pitfalls so your LMIA has the highest chance of approval.
