Negative LMIAs

A negative LMIA means ESDC assessed that hiring a temporary foreign worker for that job would likely have a negative effect on the Canadian labour market (for example, because qualified Canadians were available or wages were below the prevailing rate). It is not a finding of wrongdoing.
