In order to hire a temporary foreign worker, a Canadian employer is usually required to first apply for and receive a positive Labour Market Opinion. However, processing times for these Opinions have risen in recent months as provincial offices work hard to reduce backlogs.
The A-LMO presents an option for some employers to circumvent these long processing times. In order for an employer to be eligible for the A-LMO process, they must:
- Have been issued at least one positive LMO in the previous two years;
- Have a clean record of compliance with the LMO program within the last two years;
- Not have been the subject of an investigation, infraction, or serious complaint; and
- Not have any unresolved violations or contraventions under provincial laws governing employment and recruitment
