An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is an official document issued by the Canadian government that confirms a foreign worker can be hired for a specific role because no local Canadian worker is available. Most employer-sponsored jobs on Canada Career are LMIA-supported, and your employer handles this process on your behalf.
