Why it Matters
A positive LMIA confirms to the Canadian government that:
There is a genuine need for a foreign worker.
No Canadian workers are available for the role.
Once approved, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit.
Do You Need an LMIA?
Most employers hiring temporary foreign workers require an LMIA. The employer—not the worker—must apply and pay the fee.
Our Approach to LMIA Success
Hiring global talent in Canada requires more than paperwork—it demands strategy and compliance. We guide employers through every step with clarity and care, ensuring your LMIA application is strong, compliant, and positioned for success.
How We help
Why It Matters
Not all work permits require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Knowing when and how to leverage these exemptions can save time, reduce costs, and accelerate hiring. At Green Immigration Law, we help you identify the right pathway and manage the process with precision and care.
Common LMIA-Exempt Categories
Our Approach
We don’t just process applications—we design strategies. Our deep knowledge of LMIA exemptions means we can quickly identify the right category, minimize delays, and help you hire or relocate talent efficiently and lawfully.
Why It Matters
Business visitors are exempt from work permits—but not from immigration rules. Missteps can lead to delays, refusals, or reputational risk. Proper documentation and a clear purpose for entry are essential for a frictionless visit.

We combine deep immigration knowledge with practical solutions to minimize risk and keep your business moving. Our approach is proactive, precise, and client-focused—because compliance should empower, not complicate.
What happens in an Audit?
Audits check wages, working conditions, and record-keeping to ensure program integrity. Non-compliance can result in penalties of up to $100,000 per violation and a ban from hiring foreign workers.
How We Help
We provide proactive and responsive support to keep your business protected:
Compliance isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s about safeguarding your ability to hire global talent. We combine deep regulatory knowledge with practical strategies so you can focus on growth, not paperwork.
What Is Express Entry?
Express Entry is Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) online system for managing permanent residency applications for skilled workers. It includes three main pathways:
Candidates enter a pool and are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Invitations to Apply (ITA) are issued to top-ranked candidates during regular draws.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Each province and territory offers unique streams targeting skilled workers and international graduates. A provincial nomination can significantly boost CRS scores and improve chances of receiving an ITA.
