LMIA hiring in Alberta requires employers to demonstrate that no Canadian worker was available for the position. Placement Pros supports the full LMIA application process including job advertising requirements, documentation, and submission to ESDC — typically taking 2 to 5 months.
Can a staffing agency help with LMIA in Canada?
Yes. A licensed staffing agency like Placement Pros can assist Canadian employers with the LMIA process by managing job advertisements, candidate sourcing, documentation preparation, and compliance requirements from Employment and Social Development Canada.
Which industries qualify most often for LMIA in Alberta?
Hospitality, skilled trades, trucking, healthcare and agriculture are the most common LMIA-supported sectors in Alberta. Placement Pros assesses your role, wages and recruitment history to confirm eligibility before any application is filed.
