Without proper Oversight and Due Deligence the LMIA program was prone to fraud which the government failed leading to the mess who listened too much to the Fake interest and advocacy groups.

LMIA is fraud in system and companies or restaurants only run for LMIA

Immediately should remove LMIA points

LMIAO “Laughing my Indian Ass off” 😂

This is really backwards. I mean it works great for me because I lack a LMIA and I'm applying for a PR from outside Canada, but now, due to the lack of these points, i have a stronger chance of being selected. What are they doing...

I have heard of people paying 80K for an LMIA

Awesome video! Great to see you all enjoyed those outings! I've been to Toronto before way back in 2001 at age 11. Me and the group I was with visited Casaloma and the Eaton Center, but I wish we could've got to go inside the CN tower to the observation deck as well.

I only have 7 months left on my work permit. LMIA points were a good final option if all else failed. Now I only have one realistic option which in itself is unrealistic - learning french to get a CLB 5 score in under 7 months to be eligible for Francophone Mobility Work Permit

Good to many immigrants in Canada that don’t respect our Canadian culture or customs.

what app do i need for living in canada ?

As it stands today Canadian citizens in British Columbia can't find work. Time to end LMIA , time to suspend all immigration until the conservatives come to power and straighten this corrupt system out

LMIA market rate is 50k USD in INDIA 😅

closed working job offer 50 points will also be removed if this rule will be implemented?

Hey Guys , this could be dumb but can you clarify I understand removing Lima eliminates bonus points that leads to reduce CRS scores but will it be applicable for all ? Like genuine LMiA holders then will loose opportunity of having LMIA bonus points ? No ? At the end number of (density) people with point difference would be more like people between 501-502 more

Thank you Ms Rachel for this insightful video! ☺️

For a senior manager such as a CEO, CFO, or CTO, their age is usually over 40. If the LMIA bonus points of 200 are removed from PR applications, they can hardly compete with even a greenhorn graduate, as their age points are 100 points lower than those of juniors under 30. Is this fair in reflecting experience and adaptation ability to the Canadian job market? Without experienced senior professionals joining the domestic industry, it would be hard to revitalize the local economy.

The current Canadian economic downturn, local terrorism by Islamics and Khalistanis, the unfathomable costs of living and the continuing fall in living standards push Canada lower and lower on the list of preferred countries for skilled expat settlers in 2025 and beyond. If Canada recovers it’ll be in the mid-2030s or after.

Good information. Thanks

This makes it harder for those with unique fields to go in where they should be making a difference. They'll simply disappear in-between the masses.

Very Well Explained, thank you!

90% of LMIAs are scam

Not too far away next door in Alberta it's the nastiest weather on the planet and the view from there is far diff than from b.c.

There are some countries that are exempted for LMIA because of current FTAs.

A perspective is missed by the video. LMIA requirements make changing jobs for genuine temporary workers difficult. The extra points in CRS is the only good thing that came out of it. If points are not given for this, it makes it more tougher for them on the permanent residence path. Why should you all care? It is because the tougher and longer you make for genuine highly skilled workers to make contributions to the economy without being restricted to their employees, the longer it takes for them to move to better paid jobs. Because if you don’t already know, employers take advantage of the helplessness of workers to change jobs to give them raises, etc and depress the wages market.

Whatever the changed laws are it always boils down to this for any Country: is the immigrant's pr logical, for example, are they they only candidate that can fit in this position at the moment? If yes is there something that is preventing them from working remote from their Country? If yes, is the employer capable of paying a salary? If yes is the immigrant bringing value to Canada aka their help will probably make money in the end for the Canadian employer and make it possible for the government to make more tax money? If yes the demand will mostly pass.

Canada immigration is 99% a scam.

actually this is a good thing , so people cannot pay for fake LMIA and get PR by paying 35k

do you have a BC PNP plus EE video

You should marry someone intelligent

All these temp people must leave when their permit expires.

Even as an immigrant, I think, they should scrap LMIA, just a shitty scam!

As an immigrant Canadian citizen, the question i want to ask is:" When did Canada become the promised land to any of us?" Canada isn't the only country available in terms of status and opportunity when it comes to its development. Why are we not harassing Germany or Switzerland, Spain, Italy, etc. When Canada takes the burden of providing for everyone, who provides for Canada? As an immigrant, I can say I sens entitlement in the way we position ourselves around this issue. I'll be glad to be valued and recognised in Canada let's say *AFTER* native indigenous people are recognized and respected.

Are you feeling it now Mr krabs? 🪓

Hi Rachel, impressive presentation. I’m an HR professional who is serving the MNC in Canada. One time we found a PHDs holder who has sufficient knowledge and experience candidate at South Africa, our organization spent $20000 to create an account at IRCC and spent 6-8 months to complete the process. For a 1st tier application, a really talent, a real employer like us; unfortunately we suffered a long time application process to hire a staff. Personally I can’t agree the IRCC and Canada gov’s working style. In contrast, according to my research and interviews to many of low tier skilled workers who was paying $70000-80000 for the LMIA and work at hotel, coffee shops or factories. Many of them are not truly going to the work places. They said, they’ve already paid such money, they worth to have PR. Sorry, I cannot agree with them. The money they paid was not being taxed. Those money are under table. They are truly abusing the skilled worker system, they also stole jobs from us the Canadian’s job offers. Even though it is coming late but I totally agree IRCC reduce the points of Low tier workers’ LMIA, I also hope ircc cancel the LMIA right away because Canadians are worth to have a fairness and integrity society. We are all paying taxes, suffering the inflation, we should have job offers back but not the LMIA buyers.

there liberal are either idiot or bad heart. Canada has enough talent. LMIA is for corruption

I hope this happens, too many scams

Stop / minimize all immigration for at least 5 years . And then enforce cultural assimilation (yes , we are fundamentally Anglo-French ) as the idea of country without a definitive national identity is preposterous . No JT’s post national country BS

These rules are still part of the governments plan to reduce the number of both permanent and temporary resident in the upcoming years. Whether it will bring back the integrity of Express entry or not let’s not forget that the main goal here is to reduce population as this cost to much for Canadians and Permanent Residents or let us say for the whole country.

Will lmia-exempt c20 permit be affected by this policy for claiming 50 pts?

Hi is this applicable only for NBI renewal? Your reply is highly appreciated.

LMIA should be shutdown, it’s not serving the genuine purpose.

Good that way people will not cheat the system

Canada can do whatever they want, and we cannot complain.

I haven’t heard of a single case of LMIAs being issued for a justified case. It is a way of cracking the system and bringing relatives and friends to Canada or making money out of people’s desperation. The Immigration system in Canada is rotten and they are trying to fix it. They built it expecting the goodwill of immigrants, but benefited the ones who lack ethics and moral. This is why the quality of life has deteriorated so much. Canada is changing from a high trust society to a low trust society and has to be like that while they don’t send back home the ones who don’t obey the rules and respect the country.

Hi Rachel! I love your videos, and thank you so much for doing all the research you do to keep many of us informed. However, as someone who works with vulnerable temporary foreign workers, I don't think is fair to say that both workers and employers have a shared responsibility when it comes to asking the workers to pay for their LMIA's. As you explained, the LMIA backed work permit is for many the only way to stay in Canada. And abusive employers know this. This narrative contributes to the blaming of workers for their own exploitation as if they themselves are exploiting the system. And this is simply not the case. Many international students become temporary workers and in this transition, because of the power imbalance, they become victims of manipulation and misrepresentation of jobs or as you said, they are simply offered fake jobs. There's a number of reasons why someone would agree to pay for their LMIA but this does not mean they bear the same responsibility because the power imbalance in an employer-employee relationship will always benefit the employer. Hope other TFWs reading this know that there are ways to denounce such situations. Just sharing this respectfully, I understand this is a complex issue.

Thanks Indians for their corruption 🤬🤬🤬 they pay even for the PR

1. Why is Canada having to deal with the repercussions of greedy Ghost Consulting in India targeting Indian students? Filling their heads with PR fantasies. Leading to the vast majority of Indian international STUDENTS in Canada insisting (no matter what?) on PR versus returning home without it when SCHOOLING ends. Contributing to (not causing) a housing crisis. CANADIANS never promised students PR. CANADIANS never told students to risk life savings or get into debt. 2. Why is Canada having to deal with 10,000 fraudulent acceptance letters created by greedy Indian 'consultants' (and given to their own people)? 3. Why have Canadians seen on social media videos that Indian nationals have posted all advertising Canadian PR & visas & permits & schools & jobs etc., like they're selling shirts? Posted hourly for years & rarely in English (with very very rare input from Canadians). With colleges and universities unable to control their conduct. 4. Why did Canada not have numerous PRIVATE 'diploma mills' (most in/near Indian neighborhoods) until 40% of international students were from India? Schools that Canada is now shutting down. 5. Why is the title "IELTS spouse" known to Canadians now? 6. Why have Canadians seen Canadian housing being scooped up en-mass as investment vehicles by, and for, Indian nationals? Often these 'landlords' also cram 20+ students in a small home and charge each way too much for rent. 7. Why are Canadians primarily seeing Indians only protesting & waving their flags on Canadian streets making demands (because they don't have enough credentials to remain in Canada)? Carrying signs accusing very tolerant multicultural Canada of racism!!! 8. Why are Indian STUDENTS asking for Canadian asylum (which Indians rarely qualify for)? Canada is really considering fast-tracking asylum refusals (to prevent further asylum system abuse). 9. Why are Indians using Canada to illegally cross into the USA? Who is Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel (as one example)? Plus why did Canada end ‘flagpoling’ post graduation work permit practices at the border? 10. Why were Canadian food banks & other charity services recklessly advertised on social media in Indian languages? 11. Who is Hardeep Nijjar? Vikash Yadav? Lawrence Bishnoi? Goldy Brar? Amit Shah? Arsh Dalla? Gurjant Singh? All a handful of examples. 12. Why are Canadians having to deal with Sikh & Hindu diasporas stirring up tribal hatreds in CANADA even though it all stems from their ancestral home? Including extortion & coercion between Indians. 13. Why did Canada have to launch investigations in regards to foreign interference in numerous Canadian elections, stemming from India? 14. Why is BC & Ontario taking steps to possibly outlaw The Caste System at workplaces? Due to numerous labour complaints from their fellow Indians. Plus what about LMIA letters being sold to prospective Indian immigrants by Indian businesses in Canada for big sums of money? Plus what about Indians being deported for using fake LMIA job offers? 15. Why are most (85%) tech support scams and identity theft scams in North America originating from India? RCMP is often seeking suspects involved in scams targeting elderly Canadians. 16. Why is Homeland Security investigating truck drivers who were caught trafficking illegal drugs worth $40,000,000 from USA to their Ontario residence this month? Who is Vanshpreet Singh and Manpreet Singh? Plus Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa in Vancouver, BC? Similar criminals exist. Most illigal drugs in North America began in Asia. 17. Why have major auto theft rings formed in Canada in recent years, shipping stolen car parts to lower Asia and northern Africa? When arrested, many are from where? Research and see. Plus speed racing in Brampton, Ontario, causing injuries and death. Research and see. 18. FAKE TAXI DRIVERS stealing bank card information and emptying victim's bank accounts. Who is Arshdeep Singh who posed as a fake Uber/taxi driver in order to sexually assault women in recent months? 19. Why were there numerous break and enters in Brampton, Ontario, this month? Who is Gurparkar Singh, Akshdeep Singh, Kanavpreet Singh and Dilpreet Singh? Arrested Dec 3rd '24. 20. Is India now weaponizing travel visas involving Canada to silence critics? Why is a country with over a billion people now badmouthing Canada and hurting it's great reputation? Canada, one of the top ten most peaceful and kind-hearted and law abiding and multicultural and INVITING countries on Earth! How do you think this makes Canadians feel? And why for the first time in over 100+ years, are most Canadians becoming quite distrustful of immigration????? With stuff like this, Canadians are getting more and more upset. It’s not hate. It’s not racism. It’s a normal reaction to an influx of any culture if it doesn’t assimilate and blend to a country’s way of living, including rules and conduct norms. Support the country you live in … or live in the country you support. Canadians don't want Canada to turn into a low-trust society. Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed and for all people (including immigrants) to be okay. Now Canadians are VERY happy with IRCC's recent changes (reductions & multifaceted investigations & deportations etc.). Including long-term Asian Canadians MOST upset (by all of this). Canadian Feds expect 4.9 million people, with expiring visas, to leave Canada in 2025 and polls show 78% of Canadians want this. Why? Canada is the 6th safest country in the world. After a recent downgrade. India is in 82nd place. Why????

I am a Filipino and came to Canada in 2011. I would say that these new immigration policies are right to control our massive population and rid of the people who bring their ugly habits from back home. No matter what race, assimilate to Canada's culture. I came here with the intent of having a great life but the past 3 years have felt more and more worse here. Simple. If you hate Canada and its policies, go back home. Please. We do not need you here.

That's actually a good thing. LIMA abuse are so intense right now. Immigration agencies are getting extreme profit by selling LIMA to immigrants even it is illegal to do so. Without LIMA, PNP, French language, or category based draw, it is nearly impossible to get an ITA even a candidate have for example 2 years Canadian experience, a master's degree in Canada, IELTS score of 8, which is already super high standards right now. If LIMA points are removed, they maybe qualify to get ITA. And it helped to reduce LIMA fraud as well.

Nobody talked about banking system nor making content of this, if 4.9million of temporary resident will leave, Let’s just say each of them have a 1k on their saving x 4.9million thats equals to 4.9billion, are banks ready for that? market will be affected for sure CAD value will go down. And for sure their savings is more than just 1k.
