LMIA advertising requirements

As of August 28, 2017, the requirement to advertise on the Government of Canada's Job Bank will be extended to all employers in all provinces and territories. Pursuant to this change, employers located in a province or territory with a provincial or territorial job board will now be required to use the Government of Canada Job Bank.

In addition to using the Job Bank, employers must conduct at least two additional methods of recruitment that are consistent with the occupation they are seeking to fill. Employers located in a province or territory with a provincial or territorial job board may use the provincial or territorial job board as one of the additional recruitment methods.
