Nova Scotia- PNP - employers tasks

[olipearce1987]

Hi All,

not sure if anyone will know the answer to this. If I do PNP with Nova scotia and to have a job offer, the employer does not require a LMIA, but they still have to show the requirement to hire a non Canadian.

what exactly do they have to provide for this process....and isthere a cost to them etc

If you have PNP nomination and gets the PR via that , LMIA is not required and employer need not do anything else but to sent you their offer letter. If you dont have PR, then LMIA is required.

from reading the below from Nova Scotia document, its doesn't say LMIA is required:

efforts
The employer must provide evidence of recruitment for the position. This evidence must predate the applicant’s current offer of employment and it is required even if the applicant has an open work permit. Satisfactory evidence can be either: • a current positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), as described below, • proof that the position offered or worker is considered to be LMIA exempt, or • three advertisements and related information that meet the conditions described below.

LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT If the employer has received a positive LMIA from Employment and Social Development Canada (Service Canada) for this position, attach a copy of the LMIA in which the applicant is named. No other recruitment documentation is required. The LMIA’s expiry date must be later than the date of application to the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration (NSOI). If the applicant has requested a letter of support from the NSOI for the purposes of a work permit, the employer must demonstrate that the position is paid at the prevailing median wage regardless of the wage quoted on an earlier LMIA.

LABOUR MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT EXEMPTION If the position offered and/or the worker is LMIA exempt as identified by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, proof must be submitted. The applicant must be paid at the median wage rate for the position at the time of requesting a letter of support. (see: www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-whopermit.asp and/or www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_workers/reform/imp.shtml )

ADVERTISEMENTS If there is no current positive LMIA, or the offered position and/or worker is not considered LMIA exempt, provide a copy of the job advertisement that appeared in three different publications, one being national in scope (i.e., Job Bank or any other Canada-wide resources considered an effective method of recruitment for the position are acceptable.) All advertisements must occur in the six months prior to the date of the job offer to the applicant. Each advertisement must be publicly available for no less than four consecutive weeks. The employer must be able to demonstrate that the print media and websites used to advertise the job target an audience in Canada that has the appropriate education, professional experience, language ability and skill level required for that job. The advertisement must be in English or French and include the: • Company operating name and contact information: telephone number, cell phone number, email address, fax number, or mailing address; • Title of position • Job duties • Skill requirements • Location of work (city or town)

NOTE Recruitment efforts are mandatory, unless the applicant is in possession of a valid LMIA or is in a position considered LMIA exempt. The Office of Immigration reserves the right to request additional information to demonstrate recruitment efforts in support of an application.
