LMIA指南：加拿大劳务市场评估审理时间 Labour Market Impact Assessment application processing times

Date modified: 2020-06-05

加拿大劳工部是审理加拿大就业市场评估认定书LMIA的政府部门。海外劳工必须获得积极的LMIA认定书后，才能提交加拿大工签／工作许可申请。

We are currently experiencing a high number of Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications which is resulting in longer processing times for some streams of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. We are providing recent processing times by stream to help you estimate how long it will take us to assess your application. Please account for these when planning for your employment needs.

Many factors must be evaluated before we can issue an LMIA decision. You can help reduce delays in processing your application by:

ensuring your Labour Market Impact Assessment application is complete before it is submitted responding promptly to Service Canada requests for additional information or documentation

Average Labour Market Impact Assessment processing times for May 2020:

Application type LIMIA类别	Average processing time 审理时间

Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program 季节农工	5 business days
Permanent residence stream 永久居民PR类别	29 business days
In-home caregivers 看护	10 business days
High-wage stream 高薪	35 business days

Please note that these processing times are averaged across all processing centres in Canada. Timelines represent the average time it takes to process an application from when it is received by Service Canada to when the decision letter is sent to you via mail.

Global Talent Stream and applications that qualify for expedited service have a service standard of 10-business days that is expected to be met 80% of the time. The service standard date starts on the business day after the application has been received.
