LMIA Wait Times Increase Across Streams
The rules just changed for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA) in Canada.
Employers using TFWP faced longer waits for Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) under nearly every stream in August 2026, with some delays growing significantly. This concerns the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA) in Canada.
Why this matters if you're planning to move abroad
Immigration rules shift constantly, and a single change to a route like the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA) can affect your eligibility, timeline, or costs.
