Wage rate in LMIA

[zhan9017]

Hi, I have a question regarding the wage rate listed in the approved LMIA document. Can the employer pay more than that or is that what they need to pay?

its written as a high/low wage LMIA. What does that mean exactly? Does that mean that if the employer pays the median wage, it will become a high wage stream?

it would be very helpful if someone can clarify.

thanks in advance.

• at or above the provincial or territorial median hourly wage, you must apply under the stream for high-wage positions
• below the provincial or territorial median hourly wage, you must apply under the stream for low-wage positions

This link mentions that if the wage is at or above the median hourly wage, it will be the high-wage position

I saw that but on the LMIA document it says exactly this- ‘high/low stream’. My question is what does this mean for the LMIA? Is it high or is it low? Or does it d pend on what the employer is paying?
