为满足加拿大人才需求，ESDC（Employment and Social Development Canada）开设了Temporary Foreign Worker Program。在TFWP下，LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) 是ESDC向雇主颁发的临时外国劳工雇佣同意书。雇佣外国劳工前，雇主必须通过Service Canada向ESDC递交雇佣申请，以此评估雇用外国劳工会给加拿大带来正面或负面的影响。此外，雇主需要向ESDC证明没有合适的加拿大劳工适合此职位，需要靠外国劳工填补职位空缺。ESDC批准LMIA申请后，申请人可向IRCC递交工签申请，满足联邦快速通道EE入池要求的申请人，EE分数可加50-200分，确保获得PR申请邀请。

LMIA申请七大因素：

1. 雇用外国工人是否有助于为加拿大人创造或保留工作？
Whether the employment of the foreign national will or is likely to result in direct job creation or job retention for Canadian citizens or PRs.

5.雇主是否已经付出招聘努力？

6.公司和/或行业是否存在持续的劳资纠纷？
