In general, foreign nationals who want to work in Canada must first complete a Labour Market Impact Assessment. (LMIA). In rare situations, the LMIA requirement might be waived if the individual requesting entry into Canada has a significant advantage.
When deciding whether to let foreign workers into Canada, Canadian government authorities must consider the impact on Canadian workers.
As a result, a labour market evaluation, also known as a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), is frequently required. The LMIA requirement, however, might be waived under a significant benefit’ exception. The fundamental assumption is that in such cases, the benefits of getting a work permit would outweigh the possible negative consequences of failing to follow the standard procedure.

These are scenarios when an LMIA is frequently required, but practical limits prevent this from occurring if Canada is to gain, generally due to the extensive processing times involved with most LMIAs. Aside from the lack of LMIA, other factors that are generally considered when reviewing a work permit application may weigh in favor of the work permit being granted in such cases. The potential impact on Canadian investment and the economy, as well as the disruption of the Canadian labor market and consumer needs, are all factors to consider.
