What this report does not prove

A listing signal is not a positive LMIA decision, a promise of sponsorship, or proof that a role is open to every overseas candidate.

Verify the employer process

Confirm the source posting, employer identity, current vacancy and whether the specific role has an LMIA pathway.

Use the safety checklist

Check official rules

Program streams, wage thresholds and regional measures change. Use the current Government of Canada guidance before acting.

Questions 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.
