Unemployment Rate Threshold for Low-Wage LMIA Applications

 



There have been significant changes to the regulations surrounding the LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) process. One of the biggest updates concerns Low-wage LMIA applications.

 

There are now specific conditions under which the government will refuse to process an LMIA application. One key factor is the unemployment rate in certain regions. In cities classified as “Metro Areas,” if the unemployment rate is 6% or higher during a given period, Low-wage LMIA applications cannot be submitted at all.

 

To manage this process more effectively, the Canadian government now publishes regional unemployment rates that serve as a benchmark for LMIA eligibility. These rates remain in effect for a full three months.

 

Today (April 4), the new set of unemployment rates was released and will be valid until July 10. In cities where the rate is 6% or higher, Low-wage LMIA applications are not allowed during this period.

 

According to the announcement, unemployment rates are relatively high across the board, which means many cities are now ineligible for Low-wage LMIA submissions.

 

If you're preparing an LMIA application in one of these cities and your position is classified as Low-wage, it's important to recognize that applications will not be accepted until after July 10. You’ll need to consider alternative strategies.
