  • The Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) analyzes a variety of factors when reviewing a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

  • The employer should not be non-compliant with the labour laws.

  • The employer should provide consistent salary to temporary foreign workers based on the location and type of position.

  • The ability of a foreign worker to add expertise or unique skill sets to the position they will fill.

  • Efforts on the part of the company to recruit qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents to fill the positions before hiring temporary foreign workers (TFW).

  • ESDC will send a copy of the decision to the employer once they have assessed the LMIA application.
