LMIA guidance for Canadian employers
Hiring internationally can raise important questions about program pathways, employer responsibilities and supporting documents. Brookside Immigration provides professional guidance to help employers understand their options and prepare for the next steps.
A considered starting point
Understand the pathway before preparing an application
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is assessed by Employment and Social Development Canada. Depending on the role and circumstances, an employer may need an LMIA or may need to consider a different hiring pathway.
Program rules and requirements can change. A case-specific review can help identify questions to clarify and information to verify before you proceed.
