Canada does not publish wages. The LMIA employer list shows which employers were approved to hire foreign workers, for which occupations and how many positions — not what they pay. A positive LMIA is not a job offer, and the list excludes employers whose names are personal names, so it is not complete.

How to get hired with an LMIA in Alberta

  1. Find an employer that can hire you. A positive LMIA means an employer was approved to hire a foreign worker for a role. Use this directory to see who has hired through the TFWP.
  2. Get a job offer and LMIA-backed support. The employer applies for (or holds) an LMIA for your occupation; you then apply for a work permit. See the guide.
  3. Apply, and beat the filter. Sponsored roles draw many applicants and most are screened by software first, so build an ATS-ready resume before you apply.
