A Labour Market Impact Assessment considers whether hiring a foreign worker will affect the Canadian labour market. The burden of evidence sits largely with the employer.
Typical employer requirements
- Proof of active business operations and payroll
- Recruitment records showing genuine efforts to hire locally
- A job offer consistent with prevailing wage for the occupation and region
- A transition plan where one is required for the stream
Coordinating both sides
Employer and applicant documentation must describe the same role, the same duties and the same wage. Mismatches between the two packages are a frequent source of concern.
Immigration programs, requirements, processing procedures and timelines may change. Visitors should verify current requirements through official Government of Canada sources or discuss their individual circumstances with a qualified professional.
