Brother has a registered company in Saskatchewan, can he issue Job offer letter?

[bestofluck]

Just to get this right, if brother has a company, is in need of an employee, why should be there be any harm in trying for LMIA with that?

If was in your place, and I had a brother in CANADA, i would go on a tourist VISA and find out a LMIA job for me. This gives you chance to find a job anywhere in Canada, through recruitment agencies. I would just ask my brother to contact recruitment companies and do the research work, before I go.

Hows it?

Even better I would say but the only problem here is that my tourist visa gets rejected and stamped on my passport, I fear it may impact negatively my prospects for migration.

A TRV reject will only impact immigration if you don't mention the refusal in your application. Otherwise no impact.

Well No. Student and Tourist Visa rejections does not much affect the immigration process.

the issue with LMIA, is that it is very difficult to prove that you cant find a admin/accountant in canada to relevant authorities and that you need LMIA for the same. I have actually thought of the same.. applied for jobs, but they used to back down hearing that I m not a resident there.. no one can wait 6 months or more for a person thy need within a month time..

Good point indeed. I think this is the make or break area in my case. I will read up more and see what I can find out. I really want to make this work like we all do!

In your case though, the employer turned you down, right? At least in this case I am thinking the 1 good thing is that employer can PUSH matters to the extent possible.

The employer can't "push" anything. They have to meet the requirements by advertising the job and proving that no Canadian could be found for the role. Even if the employer claims no Canadian could be found for the role, it's quite possible for the LMIA still to be denied if it's reasonable to assume that a Canadian should have been found based on market conditions for that occupation and the employer simply didn't try hard enough.

if you are really serious about getting an lmia you should yourself or tell your brother to contact an immigration consultant or lawyer, they are the one who can guide your brother with the application and required documents

From 'PUSH' I mean 'TRYING FOR WHATEVER EMPLOYER CAN'

well, you may be right but I think trying is something I should definitely go for!

Yeah, now I have done what you can say ' Level 1 Reading ' and analysis and at least it appears to be a possibility. I will start working on this soon and see where it takes me. I think we would definitely go an immigration lawyer or consultant.

Hi All,

My brother has an IT company registered in Saskatchewan since past 4 years. Below are some facts:

1) Its a small company with an employee or two only
2) There is not much revenue but there are receipts here and there

He is now in expansion phase and would like me to join him. My questions are as follows:

1) Can he issue be a Job offer letter?
2) How likely it is that the offer letter will be approved by relevant authorities?
3) Just because he is my brother, could that be a problem for me in any way?
4) Any suggestions to make the whole case more solid before we proceed?

Thank you all for your response.

One other issue that you may face is that it is extremely unusual for a small, one- or two-employee IT company to hire a full time accountant. If they are truly growing, they would hire engineers at this stage, and outsource their accounting needs.

If the LMIA is really for an accountant position - there's zero chance of approval. That's nowhere near a full time job for such a tiny company.

Also - the company needs to be able to demonstrate revenue.

Does IRCC put extra effort on case like this? family business hires family members? Because it looks pretty similar to what many fraud immigration companies here in Canada have been doing.
