It’s Myth-Buster Monday πŸ”­ Contrary to what many believe, a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that only an employer in Canada applies for prior to hiring a foreign national. A positive LMIA will show there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job for the Canadian enterprise. It is processed by Service Canada. A positive LMIA does not guarantee the foreign national’s work permit will be approved by IRCC nor does it guarantee any pathway to permanent residency. πŸ’» info@shorelineimmigration.ca

Nobody is more well versed in the art of form filling than a busy RCIC! πŸ“„ But did you know this only makes up a small percentage of the job? So much more goes into filing an application and it pays to work with someone who goes above the norm in presenting a compelling case to IRCC. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ #immigrationcanada #immigration #permanentresidency

There’s a common saying in the realm of immigration: deadlines are deadly! Missing a deadline can often lead to a refused application, a returned application, or a lengthy delay in processing. If you’ve been given a deadline by IRCC or you’re attempting to maintain your temporary status, be mindful of how your timezone compares to UTC. For example, UTC is 3 hours ahead of Atlantic Daylight Saving Time. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

In the ever changing landscape of Canadian immigration, public policies come and go, often with little notice or further explanation. These policies from IRCC exist to provide temporary programs and services for immigrants in the economic, family, and humanitarian program streams. With so many changes coming down the pipeline, we urge you to exercise caution when it comes to the news you follow by asking yourself: βœ”οΈ Is this news coming from the official Government of Canada website? (ie. does it end with, β€œcanada.ca”) βœ”οΈ Is the individual posting this news considered credible? βœ”οΈ Can I find a secondary source that validates or corroborates the news source? Bottom line: when it feels like it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Confirm with a reliable source before proceeding with an application. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Has your company received a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and now employs temporary foreign workers? Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has the authority to conduct inspections on employers who employ or who have employed, a temporary foreign worker (TFW) on the basis of a LMIA application. Inspections can involve employers having to answer questions and provide documents, the examination of documents, or on-site inspections including interviews with foreign workers. Non-compliant employers may be subjected to fines and/or a ban. If you have questions or concerns about whether your company is compliant with the appropriate regulatory laws, reach out today.

An initial consultation with an RCIC (that’s meπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ) is a meeting to discuss your immigration issue in detail and determine how to best approach your case. By completing the intake questionnaire prior to the meeting, it allows us to come prepared to the meeting with a strategy and if needed, do more research prior to. This is also a chance for you, the client, to evaluate whether you feel comfortable working with a representative and if you’d like to retain them.
