Canada sets fees for obtaining a LMIA
A fee for processing: All applications for LMIAs are subject to a processing cost of one thousand Canadian dollars, which will not be reimbursed even in the event that the end result is negative. Applicants who fall under the LMIAs for in-home caregivers may be excluded from paying this fee if they meet certain criteria.
Documents that prove the employer's position as a genuine Canadian business are referred to as "business legitimacy documents."
Employers are required to submit a transition plan that outlines how they propose to address the need to hire individuals who are residents of other countries. In the long run, it is anticipated that employers will hire Canadian citizens and permanent residents rather than temporary foreign workers.
Recruitment attempts:
Before hiring a temporary foreign worker (TFW), employers are required to provide evidence that they made significant attempts to recruit Canadian citizens and permanent residents to fill the post.
