What does LMIA-exempt actually mean for an employer?

For businesses in Victoria, BC, continuing to employ an existing foreign worker may not always require another Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

An LMIA assesses how employing a foreign worker may affect Canada's labour market.

Under Canada's International Mobility Program (IMP), certain work permit categories are exempt from this assessment.

However, LMIA-exempt doesn't mean requirement-free. The employee must qualify for an applicable exemption, and the employer may still have responsibilities under the IMP.

Sure Immigration helps employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island assess potentially applicable LMIA-exempt mobility programs.

We want to continue employing our foreign worker. Is another LMIA always necessary?

For employers in Victoria, BC, an expiring LMIA-based work permit doesn't automatically mean another Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required.

Depending on the employee's circumstances, an LMIA-exempt work permit under Canada's International Mobility Program (IMP) may be an option.

These exemptions apply to specific categories and have their own eligibility requirements. An LMIA exemption does not automatically extend an employee's work authorization.

Sure Immigration helps employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island assess potentially applicable LMIA-exempt mobility programs and understand their options.

Hiring a foreign worker in Victoria, BC, with a valid Canadian work permit? 🇨🇦

Before confirming their start date, ask: Does their work permit authorize them to work for your company?

Not all Canadian work permits provide the same employment authorization. For local employers, understanding this distinction can be an important part of planning a new hire.

▶️ Watch the REEL to learn what employers should check before hiring.

Sure Immigration helps Canadian businesses understand work permit conditions and explore immigration options that may apply to their hiring circumstances.

A restaurant in Victoria, BC, wants to continue employing its foreign cook, whose LMIA-based work permit is approaching expiry.

If the employee needs another LMIA-based work permit, the employer will generally need a new positive LMIA.

Is your business in a similar situation?

The LMIA process may involve advertising and recruitment requirements, supporting documents, and Service Canada processing. These steps take time, so it's important to plan ahead of the employee's next work permit application.

Not sure whether your existing employee needs another LMIA or may qualify for an exemption?

Sure Immigration provides LMIA support for employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island. We can assess whether another LMIA is required and explain the next steps.

What's the difference between the LMIA expiry date and your employee's work permit expiry date?

For employers managing LMIA requirements in Victoria, BC, these two dates serve different purposes when planning continued employment for an existing foreign worker.

The LMIA expiry date indicates when a positive LMIA can no longer support the applicable work permit application.

The work permit expiry date indicates when the employee's authorization under that permit ends, unless another legal basis for continued work applies.

An expired LMIA does not automatically invalidate an already-issued work permit. Understanding this distinction helps employers avoid confusing LMIA validity with an employee's current work authorization.

Sure Immigration provides LMIA support for employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island, helping clarify which dates matter for their circumstances.

We had a positive LMIA before. Can we simply rely on it again for our existing employee?

For employers considering LMIA support in Victoria, BC, a previous positive LMIA should not be treated as ongoing authorization for a future work-permit application.

A positive LMIA for employers has a specific validity period during which it can support the applicable work-permit application. What the original LMIA was issued for also matters.

If your existing foreign employee needs another work-permit application later, the previous LMIA may no longer be usable.

Rather than assuming the earlier approval still applies, first review its validity and your employee’s current work-authorization situation.

Sure Immigration helps employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island understand what may be required next.

We already employ this foreign worker. Why might an LMIA become relevant now? For employers exploring LMIA support in Victoria, BC, having an existing employee on your team doesn't automatically determine what you'll need for their next work-authorization situation.

An LMIA may be relevant if the employee needs a new employer-specific work permit and the route being considered requires an LMIA. Other circumstances may involve an LMIA-exempt option, depending on the employee’s circumstances and the position.
Before assuming another LMIA is required, review the employee’s current work authorization and what may be needed next.
Sure Immigration helps employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island assess these circumstances and understand the next steps.

Planning to offer BC PNP application support in Victoria, BC, to retain a valued foreign employee already on your team?

When an existing employee asks for your support, understanding the timing can be an important first step.

When should you start planning?

Waiting until the application process is already underway can leave your business with less time to understand what the employer may require.

If BC PNP support is becoming part of your employee retention planning on Vancouver Island, understanding your role early can help you make an informed decision.

▶️ Watch the REEL to learn when employers should start preparing.

Sure Immigration helps BC employers understand what supporting a BC PNP application may involve.

We’re changing an employee’s role, duties, or work location. Could that affect their work permit? For employers managing work permits for foreign employees in Victoria, BC, some employment changes may require a closer look at the employee’s current work authorization.

This is particularly important when an employee holds an employer-specific work permit. These permits can include conditions related to the employer, occupation, and work location.

If an employee’s job circumstances are changing, reviewing the conditions on their current permit before making the change can help identify whether any immigration-related steps may be required.

Depending on the circumstances, different or updated work authorization may be needed.

Sure Immigration helps employers across Victoria and Vancouver Island review existing permit conditions and understand whether a planned employment change may require additional steps.
