A job posting is an announcement of a vacancy in a public medium such as newspapers, job posting Internet site, bulletin boards, etc. It provides a broad exposure of the vacancy to Canadians and permanent residents in Canada who would be potential candidates for the position.

Employers who are hiring a replacement worker under the Agriculture stream are not required to re-advertise the vacant position when submitting an LMIA application for the replacement worker. This applies only if the replacement worker is in the same Job Bank economic region and the same occupation as the ones stipulated in the previous positive LMIA.
Records of the employers’ efforts must be kept for a minimum of 6 years. This documentation can be requested at any time by ESDC/Service Canada, as the Department has the authority to conduct inspections to verify an employer’s compliance with the conditions in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (and confirmed in the LMIA letter and annexes) for a period of 6 years, beginning on the first day of the period of employment for which the work permit is issued to the TFW.
Employers who want to hire a temporary foreign worker (TFW) under the Agricultural Stream, must submit the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application along with all the required supporting documentation to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada.
In essence, employers are applying for an assessment on the impact that hiring a TFW would have on Canada’s job market. As a result, it is important that employers follow all the necessary steps and submit all of the required documentation.
