Do employers have to wait until they have recruited a foreign worker to apply for an LMIA?

No. Most employers do not have to include the worker's name for ESDC/Service Canada to evaluate their LMIA application. However, these employers must continue to advertise the position to recruit Canadians or permanent residents until they have selected a TFW. They must provide the name of the TFW and other relevant information before the LMIA expires.

There are some exceptions, when employers are not able to apply for an unnamed LMIA . These exceptions depend on the stream the application is being submitted under and the province/territory where the job is located.
