What is LMIA? LMIA stands for Labour Market Impact assessment. This document basically suggests that a Canadian employer is looking to hire for a job position and no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill this role.

Primary Agriculture Position

Why: To extend a work permit or get a new work permit and obtain additional points under express entry. Many individuals in Canada who are on PGWP are looking for LMIA-based options to increase their CRS score OR if you are outside Canada and your CRS score is below 450 you might explore this option. PGWP holders whose work permit is expiring soon can request their employer for PR support LMIA and they will be awarded additional 50 points in their Express Entry profile and a closed work permit ( If selected dual intent LMIA)
