LMIA

Obtaining a work permit to work in Canada is typically a two-step process. It begins with the Canadian employer submitting an application for Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Additionally, they have to provide a comprehensive list of Canadians who applied for the same position and the ones who interviewed for it. They have to furnish a detailed explanation of the reasons why these candidates were not hired. Employers may also be inspected for compliance after the work permit is issued.

As an employer, you can expect the process to be complicated with the long list of formalities it entails. LMIA applications require extensive documentation and statistical tabulation, and it is best to have experts working on them. We, at Bright Move Immigration, are qualified RCICs who make the entire process smooth and seamless. Rest assured, you can have the right candidate joining your business as an employee within a minimal time span.
