Labour Market Impact Assessment
The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a process in Canada that employers must go through to hire foreign workers for job positions that cannot be filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The LMIA is issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and serves to ensure that hiring foreign workers will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market

Labour Market Impact Assessment
- Determining Eligibility: Seyon Migration will assess your eligibility for an LMIA based on various factors, such as your occupation, labor market conditions, and your business’s needs. They will also review the specific requirements set by ESDC to ensure that you meet the necessary criteria.
- Job Market Impact Assessment Application: Seyon Migration will help you complete the LMIA application, which includes providing detailed information about the job position, the recruitment efforts made to hire Canadian workers, and the need to hire a foreign worker. They will ensure that the application is accurate, complete, and includes all the necessary supporting documents.
- Advertising and Recruitment: As part of the LMIA process, employers are required to demonstrate that there is a genuine need to hire a foreign worker. Seyon Migration will guide you in fulfilling the advertising and recruitment requirements set by ESDC, such as advertising the job position using approved methods for a specified duration and assessing any Canadian applicants who express interest.
- LMIA Assessment: ESDC will review your LMIA application, considering factors such as labor market conditions, wages, the effect on the labor market, and the genuineness of the job offer. Seyon Migration will liaise with ESDC on your behalf, providing any additional information or documentation that may be requested and addressing any concerns or issues that may arise during the assessment process.
- Decision and Compliance: Once ESDC has evaluated the LMIA application, a decision will be made on whether to issue a positive or negative LMIA. If approved, Seyon Migration will help you understand the conditions of the LMIA and ensure that your hiring process aligns with the terms outlined. If the LMIA is denied, they can guide you on alternative pathways or options.
- Work Permit Application: If you receive a positive LMIA, you can proceed with the work permit application for the selected foreign worker. Seyon Migration will assist you in preparing and submitting all the necessary documents to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), including the LMIA confirmation letter, job offer letter, and supporting documents.
- Ongoing Support: Throughout the entire process, Seyon Migration will provide ongoing support and guidance. They will keep you informed of any updates, assist with any additional requests from ESDC or IRCC, and ensure that your business remains compliant with the immigration regulations.
