✨ What is an LMIA?
📄 An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is a document Canadian employers may need before hiring a foreign worker.
🔍 It proves there’s a real need for a foreign worker and that no Canadian or permanent resident is available for the job.
✅ A positive LMIA (also called a confirmation letter) lets the worker apply for a Work Permit.

💡 Simple Tips to Get an LMIA Job in Canada
🏢 Apply to companies with real names
Named businesses (like Maple Tech Solutions) are usually more trustworthy than numbered ones (like 1234567 Canada Inc.).
❌ Don’t pay for an LMIA
It’s illegal to pay an employer for an LMIA. If someone asks for money, 🚩 it’s a scam.
🧠 Apply to jobs that match your skills
You’ll have a better chance if your experience fits the job. Don’t waste time on roles outside your expertise.
📝 Tailor your resume
Match your CV to the job description to show why you’re the right fit. A few extra minutes can make a big difference!
🚫 Avoid Scams and Job Frauds!
