MAKING YOUR IMMIGRATION GOALS A REALITY THROUGH PERSONALIZED, PROFESSIONAL, INTEGRATED SERVICE.
Lmia Services
A labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may require prior to hiring a foreign national. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the position.
LMIA applications are our specialty
A labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may require prior to hiring a foreign national. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the position. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is also referred to as a "valid" job offer or a confirmation letter. If an employer needs an LMIA, they must apply for one.
This is where we can help with our LMIA services. Submitting an LMIA application is a very involved process. We will work with you to ensure that the most comprehensive application is submitted and that you are kept informed every step of the way with the goal of achieving a positive result.
01
LMIA For Permanent Residency With Or Without A Work Permit
This is one of our most used services, which allows employers to support foreign workers in their goal of permanent residency by providing foreign workers with a valid job offer or valid job offer with the potential to apply for a work permit. The points gained through the valid job offer, combined with the points gained for obtaining Canadian work experience are very valuable to candidates seeking express entry.

High/low Wage LMIA

Agriculture is an area of focus for Immigration Station Canada. We offer this through our LMIA services, working with partners to find workers from all over the world and assisting you with each step of the process so that you can fill your labour gaps. With experience working in the industry and with commercial farmers, we are here to help you move your business forward with the right team.
04
Caregiver LMIA
This LMIA is completed to obtain permission to hire a foreign worker in a high or low wage position where it is clear that there is a labour shortage. This option may support permanent residency but is typically used in situations where an employer may eventually transition to a Canadian or Canadian permanent resident worker. Sometimes your situation falls outside of the box. In this situation, we will look at options for immigration that are LMIA exempt. Please book an appointment with us to arrange a consultation to discuss your specific needs.
05
Global Talent Stream
This Global Talent Stream LMIA is an LMIA that is completed to obtain permission to hire a foreign worker in a specialized position where it is clear that there is a labour shortage and the occupation is listed among in-demand occupations on the Global Talent Occupations List. The Global Talent Stream is eligible for priority processing for the LMIA and also for the work permit. If you are interested in this program, please contact us today.
06
C10, C11 Significant Benefit
The following two streams are known only as "Significant Benefit" streams that involve LMIA exemption codes C10 and C11. Under C10, foreign nationals who offer significant economic, social, or cultural benefit to Canada may be able to employ the International Mobility Program that allows employers to hire temporary workers without a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) where there are broader economic, cultural or other competitive advantages for Canada or there are reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents.
Under C11, foreign nationals applying to work for themselves or to operate their own business on a temporary basis may be able to work in Canada if they are able to demonstrate that their admission to Canada to operate their business would generate significant economic, social or cultural benefits or opportunities for Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
