Canada’s black market for Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) has surged to new heights. Following the Canadian Government’s announcement of reduced immigration targets and limitations on temporary residents, the demand for LMIA-backed job offers has skyrocketed. There is a dramatic increase in LMIA advertisements, with recruiters and unauthorized individuals offering these coveted positions at exorbitant prices to foreign nationals. This surge in illegal activity poses significant challenges to Canada’s immigration system and labour market integrity, prompting calls for stricter measures to combat the growing black market.
