60,000 LMIAs were issued in 2023

The Canadian government issued more than 60,000 LMIAs to support the recruiting of international workers in 2023. Jobs that receive LMIAs are often highly in demand within Canada. Most positions that received LMIAs were within the administrative, construction, farming, technology and technology management, transport, logistics, and food-service sectors of the economy. Candidates for these positions received their work permits under different streams of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP),?the main immigration program that issues LMIA-supported work permits.

An LMIA is the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) supported work permit. To be eligible to support a work permit application, the LMIA have a positive, or neutral result—with a negative result, makes the position ineligible for this kind of work permit. LMIA also helps to determine whether a Canadian citizen or permanent resident is ready to fill a job position.
