Introduction:
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job.
An LMIA is also essentially a protectionist measure that has been put in place to defend the labour rights of Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada from foreign competition.
