LMIA Application

LMIA Application

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial step for Canadian employers seeking to hire foreign workers. Administered by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the LMIA process ensures that hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral impact on Canada’s labor market. To obtain a positive LMIA, employers must demonstrate that they have made genuine recruitment efforts to hire Canadian citizens or permanent residents first and that the foreign worker is essential for the position.

At Kahlon Law Office, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal assistance for both employers and foreign workers in navigating the complexities of LMIA applications and related work permit processes.

Our LMIA Services:

  • LMIA Application Assistance for Employers:
    We assist Canadian employers in preparing strong and well-documented LMIA applications by ensuring compliance with ESDC requirements, including:
    • Conducting a thorough assessment to determine employer eligibility for LMIA.
    • Providing guidance on advertising and recruitment efforts to fulfill LMIA requirements.
    • Preparing and submitting all necessary documentation for a smooth LMIA application process.
    • Addressing additional requirements such as prevailing wage compliance, transition plans, and industry-specific conditions.
    • Handling communication with ESDC and Service Canada on behalf of the employer.
  • LMIA-Based Work Permit Applications for Foreign Workers:
    Once an employer secures a positive LMIA, the next step is for the foreign worker to apply for a work permit. We help foreign workers by:
    • Preparing a strong work permit application that aligns with immigration regulations.
    • Ensuring compliance with medical, criminal, and admissibility requirements.
    • Assisting with obtaining a temporary resident visa (if required) alongside the work permit application.
    • Advising on family sponsorship options, including work and study permits for accompanying dependents.
  • Challenging Refused LMIA & LMIA-Based Work Permits:
    If your LMIA application or LMIA-based work permit has been refused, you still have legal options. We assist in:
    • Requesting reconsideration of the LMIA refusal from ESDC.
    • Filing a judicial review of an LMIA or LMIA-based work permit refusal in the Federal Court of Canada.
    • Identifying and addressing weaknesses in the previous application to strengthen a re-application.
  • Reapplying for LMIA-Based Work Permits:
    A denied work permit application doesn’t mean the end of your journey. We help clients reapply with stronger documentation, addressing any past issues that may have led to rejection.
