Does anyone know what sites are best for me to advertise a nanny position for the 4 weeks to prove I've tried to fill it with a Canadian before applying for my LMIA papers ? Thanks

Minimum recruitment requirements
Before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment, you must conduct at least three different recruitment activities:

• Effective August 28, 2017, you must advertise on the Government of Canada’s Job Bank. If you choose to use an alternative method, you must submit a written rational and explanation.
• You must also conduct at least two additional methods of recruitment that are consistent with the occupation (targets an audience that has the appropriate education, professional experience and or skill level required for the occupation). Effective August 28, 2017, each of the methods used must target a different underrepresented group: Indigenous persons, vulnerable youth, newcomers, and persons with disabilities.

Vulnerable youth is defined as young people who face barriers to employment, developing basic employability skills and gaining valuable job experience to assist them in making a successful transition into the labour market or to return to school. These barriers for youth may include but are not limited to: challenges faced by recent immigration youth, youth with disabilities, lone parent youth, youth who have not completed high school, Indigenous youth, and youth living in rural or remote areas.

Job advertisement duration

You must ensure that the job advertisement:

• has occurred in the three months prior to submitting the Labour Market Impact Assessment application
• is for a minimum of four consecutive weeks within the three months prior to submitting a Labour Market Impact Assessment application

At least one of the three recruitment activities to seek qualified Canadians and permanent residents must be ongoing until the date a positive or negative Labour Market Impact Assessment has been issued.

Aboriginal/First Nations/Indigenous groups – Many first nations resources are either very targeted, very regional, or very expensive. Resources provide varying levels of support, verification, and national exposure. Here is what we have found so far.

www.Aboriginaljobboard.ca - Seems to be the least expensive option for a paid national campaign. Documented postings with id numbers are easy to track. Larger packages are available on request.

https://www.inclusionnetwork.ca/frontoffice/reviewPricingPackagesAction.do?sitecode=pl233 - Around $640. One of the pricier options available today


Newcomer and New immigrant resources – This one is tough, as many people believe a local church or community organization will qualify. While we have seen that work, more often than not Officers require specific, targeted job boards. Making an officer’s job as easy as possible is key, and worth a small fee to check all the boxes. Here are a few paid resources that we have seen work consistently.


www.newcanadianjobs.ca – Least expensive, very targeted national network of employment centers, about $99 per post at last check. We actually find quite a few international candidates to fill other roles when posting on this network.

www.newcomerscanada.ca – Nice website, about $195 per posting.


Vulnerable youth

https://www.yes.on.ca/ - Ontario specific government employment center. Large reach but limited to specific regions in Toronto. It was YES that actually introduced us to the job board below which shares positions between regional/provincial/national centers.

www.canadayouthworks.ca – national job board with an emphasis on youth experiencing barriers entering the workforce.

Guys is it possible for an employer to give out a job to someone in Canada after a LMIA Offer has been given to a foreign worker?

A friend had a LMIA Offer via an agent. His visa has been approved alright. After informing the agent when he will be coming, a mail from the employer was shared to my friend via his agent with the employer stating that the job has been occupied due to the long processing time. Has someone heard of this before?

Yes this is possible. The employer should have both notified your friend and IRCC that the job was no longer available when they hired someone else or they realized how long the process would take. You friend will need to explore others options to come to Canada if he is still interested.
