In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Quebec Facilitated LMIA 2023, the in-demand occupations and what foreign workers need to know about it.

What is Quebec Facilitated LMIA?

As an Employer in Canada, getting a positive LMIA for a foreign worker is not easy. To hire a foreign worker employers must demonstrate that they have done their best efforts to fill the job position within Canada, but they are unable to find a suitable candidate.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and the ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) signed an agreement regarding the LMIA process for hiring foreign workers. Now, the employers applying under the facilitated LMIA process are no longer required to provide proof of recruitment efforts.

Each year, Government of Quebec updates a list of in demand occupations eligible for Facilitated LMIA. For 2023, this list is officially announced and employers in Quebec can hire foreign workers in these 36 occupations without going through a lengthy process of getting LMIA approval.
