Apparently, the term LMO (Labour Market Opinion) is now LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). Canada Immigration has changed their Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that was announced this June 2014, highlighting strict priorities to Canadian citizens for available jobs and some important reforms listed below.
LMIA will be the screening mechanism for employers wanting to hire temporary foreign workers. Hence, employers are required to provide information about the job application and data required on the LMIA. Employers with 10 or more employees applying for a new LMIA are subject to a cap of 10% on the proportion of their workforce that can consist of low-wage temporary foreign workers.
Wage levels will replace NOC as wages are more accurate reflection of occupational skill level and labor market conditions. Jobs with wages below the provincial and territorial median wage (see table below) will be considered “low-wage” while those above the median will be considered “high-wage.” The TFWP is refusing to process any pending applications for low-wage positions as of June 20, 2014.
LMIA fee has increased from $275 to $1000 per application or per job position being applied. See the complete reforms mentioned in the new Temporary Foreign Worker Program in this article.
What is LMIA?
According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada,
“LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is a document that an employer in Canada must usually get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker can do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a Confirmation letter.”
Your employer in Canada will be the one who will process the LMIA for you and your work permit. They will also be the one who will pay for the LMIA fees. So if your employer is asking you fees for LMIA, that job offer could not be legit. Always be cautious.
Note that not all foreign workers require LMIA, there are also some that are LMIA-exempt such as youth exchange programs, free trade agreements and those under the International Mobility Program.
We know as employees, we’re also interested on the process of getting LMIA in Canada so we are sharing here the guide and procedure.
LMIA Requirements by Canada Immigration
Your employer in Canada will be the one who will process and apply LMIA for your job application. Your employer must contact ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada) and ESDC will provide the details of processing and requirements. Since this new rule was just announced recently, apparently the process is related in getting LMO in Canada, only stricter. LMIA fee is $1000 per job position application.
The employer is required to prove this foreign employment will not have a negative impact on Canada labor market and that not enough Canadians can fill up the job position of this job offering.
What to Do Once You Have Positive LMIA?
The foreign worker can proceed in applying for a working visa usually in the country he resides, outside Canada. The foreign worker needs work permit, LMIA and some documents required by the Canadian embassy.
Medical exams are also included and some overseas and immigration permits upon leaving the country. Check your specific country immigration requirements before flying to Canada.
In the Philippines, the OFW will process OFW permits in the POEA before leaving the country.

Thank you 🙂
The employer will send you your work contract indicating the details of your job which you need to sign and they will also process your LMIA if you need one. Once those are processed, you will have to apply for a working visa at the embassy of Canada in the Philippines
Good Day Ms. Fehl,
I’m currently working here in UAE and I’m planning to work in Canada. I would like to know if I should go back to our country and apply for working visa to Canada or I can do it here in UAE?
There are so many consultants who are willing to help, but I don’t want to take the risk. Another question, do they still provide citizenship for OFW?
Your information would be a great help.
If you are a legal resident there, I think you can apply there in UAE. Citizenship has specific requirements, yes if you’re eligible, you can become one.
Good evening mam. Ask ko lng po ,OK lng po ba mag apply ako caregiver kahit 8 years ago na ako nakagraduate (year 2006) sa isang caregiver training center.gusto po kase ako kunin ng cousin ko.

Mam fhel good day 2 u….ask lng po kung paano mag apply nang job for Canada? 3 taon na ako nag trabaho bilang scaffolder erector…anu po ba ang 1st step to apply?….thank you po,magandang buhay….
ur employer will apply for a Labor Market Opinion (LMO). once it is approved by the government she will send to you that lmo and then u will apply visa in the immigration office makati or cebu. But before hand get an International English Language Testing System (ielts) because no one is allowed now to come to Canada without english proficiency rating. At least u pass the language test.
Hi Ms. Fehl!…
Once we’re able to get a positive LMIA by any chance then we can now start to process our working visa for Canada right? Do you have any idea how much would it cost us to process our own visa if the employer won’t shoulder the fee?…Thanks, Have a good one.
Hi maam,ask ko po kung required po bA tlga ANG IELTS sa pag apply ng LMIA?DIRECT po kasi ako at yung consultant na magprocess sana ng LMIA ko pinapatake pa ako ng IELTS as a requirement ng immigration,pero actually tapis na yung advertisment,LMIA na sana,,thanx lot
It depends upon the job you’re applying. If it’s a professional one, IELTS is usually required. If it’s a skilled job, IELTS is not usually required

hello Ma’am,
Pls.help me,my visa na po ako last Sept.lang kaso po maam ng back out ung amo ko..
tanong ko po maam,pede po ba ako mghanap ng new employer with contract at lmo,at ung visa ko pa rin ang gagamitin ko.pwede po ba un maam?
My nakapagsabi kc sa akin maam na pede daw po ako mghanap ng new employer at ung visa ko pa rin ang gamitin ko..Totoo po ba ang sinasabi ng ngsabi sa akin maam?
Pls.help me ano dapat ko po gawin,or ano po mga option sa caseko..thanks
I don’t recommend it because at the port of entry in Canada you will need to show your visa, IDs, work contract and the address where you will stay in Canada. If your boss cancelled your work, your contract may be void and he might already advice Canada immigration about it. Would you risk going if you know the truth? I don’t think so.
hello ask ko lang po kung ganu katagal yung processing ng lmia? almost 1 year ndin po ako ng antay,

Hi! Miss Fhel,
Ask ko lang kung pwede po ba ako mag apply ng work while in Canada as a Tourist Visa? and if they can give me a Working permit while in Canada? I’m currently working as a Technical Support at Telus Philippines for 7 years now. Is there a chance? thanks
It would complicate your application if you are there as a tourist and applying for work permit. That would be a big minus.
Dear mam,
i submitted my cv to a agency and its approved. now they evaluate my documents through overfly evaluate organization and they need 100 dollars from me. what can i do next? plz suggest me…..
Whoa, be cautious on what you pay. Verify first the agency if it’s accredited by POEA

Good day!
Ive created resume and register dun sa sinabi nyo Job bank. Ngayon pano ako mag aapply sa mga jobs dun parang jobstreet lang ba na select or do i have to e-mail the employer. Nag search kasi ako ang try to apply pero confusing po kasi unlike sa jobstreet na “apply for this position” idk siguro naninibao lang. Well if the case is to e-mail the employer for application. Ano yung best cover letter na ilalagay since andito ako sa pinas ang applying a job to canada. sample po ng cover letter to impress them to process the LMIA (if meron). Or do i have to wait for the employer to contact me since nakalagay naman dun is advertise account.
Thanks & Godbless
Yes, just select to apply to the employer you want so they can see the resume or CV you uploaded or created in that job bank site. Patience lang and apply to many employers as possible.
me too i want to work in canada,,,but i dont know how? i want to know..

Hi ms fehl,
Ask ko lang kc ung lmo q magexpired na this september 21 2014 and ngaun p lng iproprocess working permit ko tru online. Wala kea mggng conflict? I just worried bec it will be expired on the process times of my working permit.
Thanks po.
It’s closer na to the date of expiration. You might need to get another one if the embassy requested you.
I just called my agency here in taiwan, sbi nla ok p dw kht 5 days before.. Totoo b un maam fehl?
Hi! I applied in an agency here in Philippines and passed the interview from an employer in Alberta Canada.We already have a visa since last year October and we are just waiting for our original papers to be sent by our employer from Canda. These papers have been authenticated already by POLO Office from Vancouver. However it has been almost 2 month now that we have not receive any updates from our employer.Does this mean our LMO has expired already?
It could be or it could be not yet expired. Remember that Canada immigration has recently released reforms about hiring temporary foreign worker last June. There is obviously big adjustment so things could be delayed. You can always ask your local agency about the status of your application and your LMO too. Bets of luck!
Hi miss Fehl,
Ako po si Jen, registered nurse and currently working as saff nurse here in Saudi Arabia. Matatapos kontrata ko ng August 2015. Plan ko mag-cross country sana through live-in caregiver program ng canada sa ontario. Pahelp po ng gagawin to get there in Canada.

Good morning ms Fehl,
May i know other legit sites aside from what you’ve mentioned that are considered legit? Is jobrapido.com a legit site? Kasi may nakita akong posting sa site nila na inapplyan. To make sure na hindi sya scam i tried searching some reviews at may nabasa akong isang blog na nagsasabing fake daw. How true is it ms? Siguro may nakaranas din dito na magapply sa site nato? Ano kaya sa palagay nyo?thanks po
The only legit sites I trust are the ones I posted because they are the only one recommended by the Canada CIC. jobrapido? never heard of it LOL
Mam

Requirements are the same. Perhaps they say it’s harder here because of too many applicants and too many POEA permits

Hi again ms. Fehl
nandto po ako ngayon s oman gusto ko po mgcross country s cnada,kung magaapply po ako at mtnggp po at naikuha n po ako ng LMIA ng employer dun,nid q po ng copy nun b4 po ako mag.apply ng working permit s cnada embssy?and aside from that mdali n lng po b ang ibng requirements?tska need q p po b mgpunta ng phil.embssy dto s oman?
Yes you need the LMO copy when you apply sa Embassy for the working visa. If you are not working in Oman and you are not a permanent resident of Oman, it will be helpful if you apply in the Canadian embassy in the Philippines.
Hi again ms.fehl
and one more thing,my mga nagsasabi po skn n need dw po my kakilala k dw s cnada pg nag.apply k dun,totoo po k un?o pd dn po magapply kht wla kng kakilala dun?thank you po
Kakilala are helpful only when they will refer you to employers. But that doesn’t mean you cannot apply anymore. You can also apply to employers directly to job banks kahit wala ka kakilala sa Canada. It takes courage and guts 🙂
Hi,
Inquire lng po…gusto ko po sana apply canada peo mejo bitin pa sa placement fee. Ano po pede ko option.? Pinadala na ko nung january sa Sydney Australia, yan pa lng po ang travel record ko.
Thanks,
Noel
It doesn’t mean that you went to Australia, you have more chance of getting working visa. Embassy always bases the approval on the credibility of the requirements the employee and the employer have submitted. The first step for you is find an employer in Canada
HI mam! I am currently venturing for a job in Canada that is related to my job. I am a nurse currently working in Las Pinas. I am an Intensive Care Unit staff nurse in a tertiary hospital since October 2010. I want to work and also migrate to Canada. I know that I should take an Nursing examination there before I will be an eligible nurse in Canada. My plan is to work there related to my job. Where and how will I start? I am currently posting my resume online. Thank you in advance!
It states in the ESDC that workers with Canadian trade qualifications (electrician) do not need an LMIA. Is this true when applying for a TWV or is this requirements only for the PR application?
There are jobs that do not require LMO /LMIA. your employer knows if you need one or go to the list to know if your job falls under the exemption
Mam ask ko lang po if there is any available job for my application i work in the cruise ship as barista and commis for almost 4 contract.
If you are applying to related jobs in Canada (in your case as Barista), then 4 years of experience will give you more chances. However, you have to find employers
Hi ms fehl! Possible po bang makahanap ng employer sa canada kapag nadon na? Like for example, my work nadon pero lilipat ng ibang employer at ibang klaseng work din… tnx
Hi mam,I just want to ask if it’s possible for my new employer to get a positive LMIA? now that the government have been strict for the temporary foriegn workers.
I’m from Hongkong and just got here in Canada for 4months, l’m working as Nanny but I recently left my previous employer and I found a new employer now she will be processing my papers this week but I’m worried because of the new government rules.
Thank you…hope to hear from you soon.

Hi mam fehl
I am a tfw here in Canada ryt now, my problem when I arrived here was, the company who hired me closed down already. I have a valid work permit but not an open 1, until now, 3mos, I got no job because employers are not giving LMIA due to its uncertainties,, do I still have hope to get one? How? Thanx much!
It depends upon your new job. If it meets the new LMIA new reforms, then you have a chance. You need to find a new employer
Hi ms fehl!… yung husband ko po nag apply ng harvesting labourer sa canada, pro warehouse and shipping supervisor work nya, pra lang daw po madali syang makarating ng canada pro kapag nadon na sya saka daw sya mag aapply ng work n related sa xperienced nya. possible po ba un?
You can only work in the company stated in your work permit otherwise you would have problems. Bawal yun.

I had a friend in quebec he had a cleaning business and he wanted me to be his worker…but now im working in a nickle mining. Im working here for more than 1 year as an utility maintenance here in palawan…is it possible that i can work to my friend?
I think Quebec requires employees to know some French coz the language there is English and French. I’m sure your friend knows how to hire you
Hello po! I just want to ask if, it is true n may hiring ng harvesting labourer sa canada ngaun khit mlpit ng magwinter?… thanks
Hi Ms fehl,
I just want to ask if there’s still LMO that will be process after they announced last june 2014 that LMO change to LMIA.
Last month july i have an employer interview and i get hired then my agency told me that my LMO have been released after 3weeks. So quick because they told me that it is an open LMO. is it still posible to be process my visa? currently im here in taiwan and i apply here to work and move in canada.
Thanks ms fehl.
Yes, if your LMO has already been issued, you can apply for a visa
Hello again ms. Fehl,

Online. You will just need to come in person if they requested you for any interview or additional paper requirements

Hi ms Fehl. I would like to ask if I already have an employer in canada and they were processing the LMIA. How long does it takes to process the LMIA?

mam fehl i applied online on the websites that u said and someone replied and he hire me but he said that i need to pay 50%of the airline fees.is this ok or not?and also what those requirement that i should ask him to send to me to apply visa from here in philippines?
Where did you apply? What website? You have to wait for your employer for your work permit before you apply for a visa in the embassy
in jobbank.gc.ca po mam he hire po nya ako kaso mam he said na processing po ng working visa at flight ticket 50% po bababyaran nya sa london po sila nakabase ngaun kaso po medyo alanganin po ako .ano po dapat ko gawing hakbang to make ir sure na d po sya scam
It sounds not legit coz real employers, don’t ask payment right away. Don’t pay anything unless you already have a job contract and a visa. Verify it by asking POLO Canada
he said atleast 10k coz kasi po include na po dun ung air fare dun my binigay syang travel agency na ngaayos ng papers ko.he already talk to that agency.dun din mgsend ng copy ng passport ko.sila po mg poprocess i always talk to him in ym po.then ng send na rin sya ng pictures ng family nila at ung aalagan ko.
Verify the travel agency they mentioned in POEA first and verify for the job order. Don’t send money in Western Union. Pay placement fee only if you already have contract and visa and ticket. BTW, air fare is usually shouldered by the employer if you used an agency in POEA
polo canada san ko po where i can find it po thank you mam
They have POLO in Vancouver area and Toronto. Just find it at the Philippine Consulate website in Canada
Good day!!!How can i get employer in canada?
