Business Immigration Series - What is going on with LMIAs in 2025?

CIP 170 – LMIAs in 2025: What Employers Need to Know In this episode, Mark Holthe and immigration lawyer Alicia Backman-Beharry unpack the major changes to Canada’s LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) process in 2025. With rising wage thresholds, stricter compliance, and soaring refusal rates, getting an LMIA has never been harder. Whether you're an employer trying to retain foreign talent or an immigration professional guiding clients through the process, this is essential listening. 🔑 Key Topics Covered: Updated 2025 wage thresholds (e.g., $36/hr in AB & ON) 10% cap on low-wage roles + refusals in high-unemployment areas Job Bank & Job Match red flags causing ad removals Realistic LMIA processing times (3–4 months or more) Increased scrutiny on employer legitimacy No more Express Entry points for LMIA job offers Why employers must lead the process—and avoid costly mistakes 🎯 Takeaways: Follow every rule exactly. Plan for long timelines. Legal support is more important than ever. Mark Holthe: “There’s a concerted effort to make it as difficult as possible for employers to get LMIAs approved.” Alicia Backman-Beharry: “If you don’t actively engage with Job Match, your ad—and LMIA—can be pulled with no notice.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Book a Consultation with Holthe Immigration Law: https://www.holthelaw.com/consultation Express Entry Accelerator Course + Masterclass: https://www.canadianimmigrationinstit...
