How much time it takes for LMIA approval? The processing period for an LMIA may take a few months (three months or more), depending on the case file and documents submitted by the applicant.

What Happens After LMIA is Approved. After an LMIA application has been processed, employers will be issued a decision. If the employer is issued a positive LMIA, they can proceed with hiring a foreign national. If a negative LMIA is issued then unfortunately the employer is not approved to hire a foreign national.

Generally, this process takes three months. This includes one month of upfront advertising, before the application can be filed, and a further two months of government processing time, after filing. Only once the LMIA application is approved, can a work permit application be filed.

In general, the period of validity of the LMIA to support a work permit application is 18 months. Note: In certain cases where an employer has specific timelines for a short employment opportunity, ESDC may issue LMIAs that expire in under 18 months.
