Hi there, once a person applies for a work permit based on an LMIA, if the position is high skilled (NOC 0, A or B) then the spouse and children can apply for dependent permits/ visas.

Hello, thanks for your all your information sharing. If a person uses a +LMIA to apply for permanent residency, moves to Ca etc. how long does the worker need to work with that company who got the LMIA, gave the job etc. before the worker can work elsewhere? Does the permanent residency still apply?

You can file by your own or have an authorized representative, those who choose to hire someone do so for ease of process, financial reasons, or just peace of mind. You're welcome to get in touch if you need some assistance - [e-mail]

I received a job offer from my home country, and my employer is helping to process my work permit. However, I applied directly on the company website and am unsure if it is a LMIA work permit.. any advice other than waiting it out?

Hi there, your employer in Canada would need to provide you with these details.

Hi Jade, Thanks for the information. Very insightful! Please, if I got a job via LMIA, would I be able to process work permit and visitor visa for my spouse and kids respectively??

[@JadeCalver]

It depends on your work skill level, NOC 0 A and B all allow for spouses and children to come with you on your permit.

[@imoh989]

Thank you for your response. If that should be the case, please how soon can I get my family across when I get there and what are the procedures??

[@desireetibalao6820]

Hi I like your video it’s very informative. Can I ask you what if the employer just created a new business and doesn’t have any employees at all. And is looking into applying for TFW. Will that employer get a positive LMIA?

[@JadeCalver]

You have to show that the work exists at the moment and that the employer can afford your salary. The first part is difficult to show if it's a new business, the government will want to know does the work exist currently? Most businesses will have to be operational to file for an LMIA.

[@claudeniecetoute566]
