employers looking to hire temporary foreign workers are now able to manage their labour Market impact Appraisal (LMIA) application through an online entrance.
The new pilot project comes after many calls from Canadian business leaders to improve the current LMIA process for employers.
The online pilot will permit temporary foreign workers Program (TFWP) employers to register for online access to manage their accounts, conduct transactions and correspond with service Canada, the government’s website says.
The portal will be accessible using the same login credentials employers use to get to the Activity Bank for Businesses. It will incorporate an electronic poll controlling the client through the finishing of the LMIA application and keeping tabs on its development. Clients will have the option to transfer supporting archives, come back to their spared LMIA application whenever and see Administration Canada choice letters.
For years the Canadian business community has been calling for the government to reduce red tape and processing times around hiring temporary foreign workers. Business development groups like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), have put forth numerous recommendations for improvements.
One of the first changes the Canadian chamber of commerce prescribed to the national government in 2017 was to modernize LMIA applications by "expanding the utilization of online applications with streamlined structures."
This past month the CFIB released its own report on the worries of little to medium-sized organizations with hiring foreign talent through the current TFWP process.
"I think this will be an improvement to what is in place, and hopefully we'll find some clarity and solutions in a greatly improved manner," Pohlmann said.
Without the online system employers are not ready to follow the applications, and hold up times are on normal somewhere in the range of three to a year. many business owners find its difficult to get answers to their questions.
The LMIA is required by and large where a employer needs to hire foreign workers. It proves the business had a go at enlisting Canadian laborers before searching abroad for ability. It costs over $1,000 to submit the application for each position that should be filled, an expense that isn't refundable regardless of whether the application is denied. Bosses are regularly not educated regarding the explanations behind the dismissal and in this way can't evaluate whether it is advantageous to re-apply.
For Pohlmann, reducing wait times and improving communication are some of the most important revisions the government needs to implement.
"We're calling for a full review of the LMIA process to understand: where the bottlenecks lie… reduce the complexity of the application, as well the make sure government's service is better in terms of replying and feedback," Pohlmann said.
