LMIA
An LMIA, or Labour Market Impact Assessment, is a critical document in the Canadian immigration system. It is issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to assess the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian job market. Employers in Canada typically need to obtain an LMIA to hire foreign workers, as it demonstrates a genuine labor shortage and the need for hiring non-Canadian employees. The process involves the employer applying for an LMIA, demonstrating recruitment efforts to hire a Canadian worker, and proving that the foreign worker is essential for the position. The LMIA process applies to employers who wish to hire foreign workers for temporary positions and is an essential step in bringing foreign talent to Canada while ensuring that Canadian job opportunities are not adversely affected.

CAQ - Worker
A CAQ for Workers, or Certificat d'Acceptation du Québec for Workers, is a document issued by the Quebec government that allows foreign workers to work in the province of Quebec, Canada. It applies to individuals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents and wish to work in Quebec. To obtain a CAQ for Workers, applicants need a valid job offer from a Quebec employer. The employer usually plays a crucial role in the application process, as they may need to apply for a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) on behalf of the prospective employee. The process involves providing proof of the job offer, demonstrating eligibility, and paying the required fees. Once granted, the CAQ for Workers permits the individual to work in Quebec, and it is often a necessary step before applying for a Canadian work permit in Canada, making it an essential document for foreign workers in Quebec.
