What is LMIA?

It's important to check with the ESDC to determine whether an LMIA is required for your particular situation. And I will say that an acquaintance of mine got a permit with the help of some organization. I don't know exactly which one.

LMIA stands for Labour Market Impact Assessment. It's a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that assesses the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labour market. It's required by most employers who want to hire foreign workers. The LMIA process ensures that Canadian workers are given priority for job opportunities before employers hire workers from abroad. In general, LMIA is needed when an employer wants to hire a foreign worker to fill a job position in Canada. However, there are some exemptions to this requirement, such as for workers covered by international agreements like NAFTA or for workers in certain occupations. Additionally, LMIA may not be required for certain types of work permits, such as for post-graduate work permits or for spousal work permits. But if you're worried about getting a permit or not, lmia alberta can help you with that.

Can you explain what LMIA is and when it's needed? I kind of tried to read the information on the internet, but I want to hear from people what it is.
