Hiring foreign workers for automotive jobs in Canada (LMIA)

Not legal advice. This page is general information for automotive employers and for foreign workers and newcomers. It is not legal advice and it is not an immigration assessment. Rules, wage thresholds, fees and steps change. Confirm the current requirements with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and, in Quebec, the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (MIFI). For advice on your own situation, use a lawyer or a consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).

An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is how a Canadian employer asks ESDC to assess hiring a temporary foreign worker. In French it is called an EIMT. This page is for automotive employers (shops, dealerships and related businesses) and for mechanics and newcomers looking for work in Canada. Canada Motor Jobs helps you post a job and reach candidates. It does not prepare an LMIA and it does not represent you before ESDC or IRCC.
