OWNER OPERATOR LMIA

The Owner-Operator LMIA is the most important tool for Business Immigrants who can meet the Express Entry requirements since it helps in improving Comprehensive Score Rating CRS by 200 points. This plan is ideal for willing and experienced applicants who have a low CRS score to meet the current entrance cut-off.

Work opportunities may be provided to foreign residents whose proposed Canadian business has got an evaluation from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). This program ensures that the work proposal is real and would most likely have a positive influence on the Canadian trade market.

The following are common things to note:

Start-up problems: For a start-up business, things may be challenging, as it would not be actively associated with the business. It is possible to apply for Owner Operator LMIA for a start-up business, but the clients should have done some purchases in leasehold restorations and offer some services before the application for LMIA is made.

Business Purchases: Obtaining a business would be more convenient instead of starting up a new business, as it can be verified that the business is running and the applicant is actively involved in the business.

Role of the Owner-Operator before LMIA approval: Complete clarity is important in the Owner Operator’s position in the business. The applicant must be prepared to prove that the employer company is actively engaged in the market. After getting the business, it is necessary to prove that the suggested Owner Operator is earlier involved in the business and has sufficient experience.

Capability to hire Owner Operator: The company must have sufficient financial capability to be able to hire and pay the Owner-Operator, especially if there is a payroll responsibility to the owner-operator.

Agreement with Employment rules: Make sure that the business being taken has credibility according to the hiring and employment judgement and it has not been blacklisted by ESDC.

LMIA Exempt Work Permits for Start-up businesses: If the client desires to establish a personal business from scratch, it may be suitable to have him/her get a Work Authorization as a Free Trade Investor or one of the LMIA Exempt pathways. After that, you can apply for the Owner-Operator LMIA once the company has been verified and operating.
