The LMIA application is the means by which Canada declares the rights of workers earning low wages.
Applicants are required to include information about the pay of the TFWs in their applications. In this way, high-wage positions will be distinguished from low-wage employment, and it will be guaranteed that temporary foreign workers will be paid the same amount for their labor as their Canadian counterparts.
Safety in the Workplace: Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) have the right to the same standards of health and safety in the workplace as Canadians who are in the same position. Due to this reason, companies are required to produce evidence that temporary foreign workers will be protected by insurance that is at least similar to the health care that is provided by the province or territory in which the firm is located.
Low-Wage Workers in Canada
Employers who submit applications for low-wage positions through the LMIA are required to address the following three requirements within their submissions:
Those who have previously employed TFWs are subject to a cap on their employment.
Transportation: Employers are obligated to provide low-wage workers with suitable transportation to and from Canada. It is the responsibility of the employer to subsidize this mode of transportation.
Accommodation: Workers earning low wages in Canada are required to be supplied with accommodation that is suitable for them throughout the entirety of their job.
