Employer Sponsored Work Visa (approved by the Ministry of Labor)

        The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is administered by Employment and Social Canada Development Canada's assessment report to determine whether an employer has the need and ability to hire foreigners. Employers in Canada who want to recruit temporary foreign workers need to submit an LMIA application to the Department of Employment and Development. Once approved, they can use this application to assist the temporary foreign worker to apply for a work visa to work for the employer in Canada.

        The Canadian government stipulates that when the domestic job market cannot meet the needs of businesses, Employers may employ foreign workers. Therefore, when applying for an LMIA, a Canadian employer is required to provide evidence that the employer is trying to consider a qualified Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the job before hiring a foreign employee without a suitable candidate.

"High salary" category

        Overseas workers can be granted a work visa for up to two years if the vacancy falls into the "high wage" category (the wage is at or above the regional median hourly wage). At the same time, the employer must provide a Transition plan Plan) that while using foreign employees, companies will also take steps to reduce their reliance on temporary foreign labor and ensure that Canadian citizens and permanent residents get jobs first.

        After obtaining positive approval from the LMIA, employers are required to continue to actively train local employees and assist foreign employees who have obtained the LMIA to apply for permanent residence.
