At Vazir Group, we specialize in facilitating smooth transitions for individuals aspiring to work in Canada. Our expertise in securing Pre-Approved Work Permits (WP) and Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) can help open doors for numerous job opportunities across various sectors in Canada.
A Work Permit allows individuals from abroad to work in Canada, provided that their employment offer has been validated through a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or is exempt from one.
LMIA stands for "Labour Market Impact Assessment." It's a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that serves as a confirmation from the Canadian government that hiring a foreign worker for a specific job will not negatively impact the Canadian Labour market.
A positive LMIA allows a Canadian employer to offer a job to a qualified foreign national.
It is unknown why certain roles are unfilled by Canadian workers, but it is likely related to vast retirement patterns and particular skill-gaps.
The most popular unfilled roles for professionals include: IT consultants, food service supervisors, cooks, bakers and hospitality staff, electricians, plumbers, agricultural workers, general construction workers, long-haul truck drivers, production workers, production workers, CNC operators, housekeeping and cleaning workers.
Providing that the foreign worker meets the requirements of the LMIA, their visa will last for a duration of 2 years.
The processing time of the LMIA is difficult to decipher, and can range from two weeks to several months. On occasion, there are chronic shortages within a particular profession which means that a more rapid processing time is possible. A quicker processing time may occur if recruitment is related to industries with severe labour shortages such as Information Technology.
