How do I find out if I need a Labour Market Impact Assessment to hire a temporary worker?

There are two ways to find out if you need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA):

• you can review the list of LMIA exemption codes yourself, or
• you can contact an International Mobility Worker Unit (IMWU) for help.

You can request an opinion from an IMWU if you think a temporary worker does not need an LMIA or a work permit, as long as the temporary worker is:

• from a visa-exempt country, and
• currently outside of Canada.
