Some Foreign Workers In Canada Can Have Their Lmia Processed In 10 Business Days
LMIAs are an important component of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Learn how certain Canadian firms may recruit temporary foreign employees faster thanks to the IRCC’s 10-business-day service standard.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) manages the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to assist Canadian companies in filling labour and skill gaps in their organisations when there are no eligible and accessible Canadians or permanent residents (PR) (TFWP).
Employers acquiring foreign talent must submit 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 requirement of the work permits given under 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 following three cases, the processing period of an LMIA might be reduced to 10 business days.
Please keep in mind that, despite the accelerated processing time, employers in the following categories must still fulfil all of the standard programme standards required to evaluate TFWP applications.
