How to read this report
It measures a filtered listing sample. It does not measure government decisions or guarantee employer sponsorship.
Read the full methodologyIncluded
Active Canadian listings with sufficient employer, location, description, expiry and source context.
Excluded
Expired, incomplete, unsafe, duplicate or weakly sourced listings are kept outside the public sample.
LMIA-related signal
Listing fields and source context indicate LMIA relevance. This is not confirmation of a positive LMIA.
Candidate action
Verify the employer, original posting and current program route before sharing documents or making plans.
Open the safety checklistQuestions about the LMIA data
Does an LMIA-related signal mean a job is approved for sponsorship?
No. It is a research signal based on listing fields and context. Confirm the employer's current process and your own eligibility before relying on it.
How often is the report updated?
The report uses active quality-checked TryJobFit listings and is cached for up to one hour. Counts change as listings enter or leave the public sample.
Why can Job Bank or government totals differ?
TryJobFit reports its own filtered listing sample. Official sources use different programs, definitions, time periods and publication methods.
