Agricultural LMIA

Employers that seek to engage a temporary foreign worker (TFW) under the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) must submit a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application to Employment and Skills Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada, along with the needed supporting paperwork.

Employers are essentially requesting an evaluation of the impact that hiring a TFW might have on the Canadian labor market. As a result, it’s critical that employers take all of the appropriate measures and submit all of the essential paperwork.
