Recently there have been slight changes to the LMIA process in 2021! Under the new LMIA system, the jobs in which a foreign worker is being hired are divided into two categories: high-wage and low-wage. Jobs are considered high wage if the salary meets or exceeds the median wage in the province where the job will be performed, and low-wage if the salary is below the median.
The application fee for LMIA requests is now $1000 per worker, an increase from the $275 per worker fee for LMOs.
