At Doorstep Immigration, Surrey, British Columbia’s premier immigration consultants, we understand that achieving Canadian citizenship is a lifelong dream for many. One of the crucial steps in this journey can be securing a job offer in Canada, supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). An LMIA not only facilitates your entry into Canada but can also be a stepping stone toward permanent residency and, ultimately, Canadian citizenship. We specialize in guiding our clients through the LMIA process and beyond, ensuring a smooth transition from foreign worker to Canadian citizen.
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that a Canadian employer may need to obtain before hiring a foreign worker. The LMIA process is designed to protect the Canadian labor market by ensuring that there are no qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents available to fill the job before offering it to a foreign worker.
Once an LMIA is approved, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit, which allows them to work in Canada legally. This work experience is invaluable for individuals who aspire to become Canadian citizens, as it can contribute to their eligibility for permanent residence through various immigration programs, such as Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). After gaining permanent residence, individuals can eventually apply for Canadian citizenship, completing their journey toward becoming a full-fledged Canadian.

The journey from securing an LMIA to becoming a Canadian citizen involves several key steps, each of which is crucial to achieving your goal. At Doorstep Immigration, we guide you through each phase, ensuring that your application is handled with the care and attention it deserves.
Initial Consultation and Assessment: The first step in your journey is an initial consultation with our experienced immigration consultants. During this consultation, we assess your qualifications, work experience, and long-term goals to determine the best approach for securing an LMIA and eventually obtaining Canadian citizenship.
LMIA Application Preparation: If an LMIA is the right pathway for you, we work closely with your potential Canadian employer to prepare a strong LMIA application. This includes gathering the necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with Canadian labor laws, and submitting the application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
Work Permit Application: Once the LMIA is approved, we assist you in applying for a Canadian work permit. This work permit allows you to legally work in Canada and gain the experience needed to qualify for permanent residence.
Permanent Residence Application: After gaining sufficient Canadian work experience, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence through immigration programs such as Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program. Our team guides you through the application process, ensuring that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time.
Canadian Citizenship Application: Once you have obtained permanent residence and have fulfilled the residency requirements, you can apply for Canadian citizenship. We assist you in preparing your citizenship application, including gathering necessary documents, completing the application forms, and preparing for the citizenship test and interview.
Pursuing Canadian citizenship through the LMIA pathway offers several advantages:
Valuable Canadian Work Experience: The work experience gained through an LMIA-supported job is highly valued in Canadian immigration programs. It can significantly increase your chances of obtaining permanent residence and, ultimately, citizenship.
Pathway to Permanent Residence: An LMIA can open the door to permanent residence in Canada, especially when combined with other immigration programs like Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program.
Opportunities Across Canada: The LMIA process is available across Canada, providing opportunities to work and live in a province or territory that suits your lifestyle and career goals.
Stepping Stone to Citizenship: Achieving Canadian citizenship is the final step in your immigration journey. Citizenship provides you with the right to vote, access to Canadian passports, and the ability to live and work anywhere in Canada without restriction.
