LMIA + Work Permit Restoration
Losing your work status in Canada can be stressful, but restoration is possible. Our LMIA + Work Permit Restoration Services are designed to assist individuals who have fallen out of status but want to regain legal authorization to work in Canada. From applying for a new Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to completing the restoration process, we provide comprehensive guidance to ensure a seamless process.
What is an LMIA?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document required by most employers in Canada before hiring a foreign worker. It confirms the need for a foreign worker to fill a position and ensures no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do the job.
What is Work Permit Restoration?
Work Permit Restoration allows individuals who have lost their status in Canada to restore it, provided they meet certain conditions. The application must be submitted within 90 days of losing status, and the individual must remain in Canada during the restoration process.
