Question:

What is LMIA?

Answer:

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada must usually get before hiring a foreign worker. 
 
A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker can do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a Confirmation letter. 
 
If you need an LMIA, your employer must send an application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
