What is LMIA - Labour Market Impact Assessment (Canada)?

A document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that a Canadian employer must obtain before hiring a foreign worker, proving that no qualified Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the position.

Why it matters in hiring

LMIA - Labour Market Impact Assessment (Canada) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
