Hiring Facts

Each industry has unique requirements and challenges when it comes to LMIA processing, and the specifics can change depending on regional labor market conditions and government policies. Employers must stay informed about these requirements to successfully navigate the LMIA process.



Here are some key facts about LMIA processing:

Talk to the Experts Now

  • Application Process

    • Employers must submit an application to ESDC, demonstrating efforts to hire Canadians first, the need for a foreign worker, and compliance with various requirements such as wage levels and working conditions.

    • The application includes details about the job, recruitment efforts, and the expected impact of hiring a foreign worker.

  • Transportation

    • Truck Drivers: There is a high demand for truck drivers in Canada, particularly in provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan. LMIAs for truck drivers can fall under both high-wage and low-wage streams, depending on the wage offered. This industry faces unique challenges due to the long hours and specific licensing requirements.

    • Logistics and Warehousing: The logistics sector may also require foreign workers for roles in warehousing and freight handling. These positions often fall under the low-wage stream, with specific regional demand influencing processing times.

  • Retail

    • Retail Supervisors and Managers: In the retail sector, LMIAs are often required for supervisory or managerial positions, especially in rural or remote areas where finding Canadian candidates can be challenging. These positions typically fall under the high-wage stream.

    • Low-Wage Retail Positions: For lower-wage positions such as cashiers or stock clerks, the LMIA process is more stringent, and employers must adhere to caps on the number of foreign workers they can hire.

  • Manufacturing

    • General Labour: The manufacturing industry often hires foreign workers for general labour positions, which may fall under the low-wage stream. Employers must demonstrate that they have attempted to recruit Canadian workers and that the position is essential to their operations.

    • Specialized Manufacturing: For roles requiring specialized skills, such as machinery operation or technical roles, LMIAs may fall under the high-wage stream. These positions may also be eligible for expedited processing if they are in high demand.

  • Education

    • Teachers and Educators: In certain regions, there is a demand for foreign teachers, particularly in specialized subjects like mathematics, sciences, and languages. LMIAs for educators require proof that there are no qualified Canadian teachers available. International education institutions may also hire foreign faculty under specific LMIA exemptions.

    • Post-Secondary Institutions: Universities and colleges may hire foreign researchers and professors, often under LMIA-exempt categories, particularly if they are engaged in research or academic exchange programs.

  • Employer Obligations

    • Employers must adhere to strict guidelines, including offering wages that meet or exceed the prevailing wage for the position in the region.

    • Employers may be required to provide a transition plan if the LMIA is for a permanent position, outlining how they will transition to hiring Canadian workers over time
