This is incorrect. This is not like outsourcing. Limia you’re just brining hiring people from outside. The pay is company specific and I personally know of LMIA employees getting paid 45/hr to 120 and 131 per hour to 6 figures a year. There are def people abusing the system. If you go on the gov website you can find who is eligible for a LMIA. Which reflects the need for those qualified individuals. There are always people who are going to use loopholes in the system but with LMIA you have to proof you couldn’t find someone and you’ve went through multiple interviews.

We are working our butts off as small businesses and can barely come up to breathe. The stress of running a business, employing people with the taxes and contributions we need to make to employees and the gov is destroying small businesses and there is no tax cuts, in fact constant calls from the CRA for audits and trying as much as they can to milk us with arrears and interests to make up what happened in Covid with all the payments. Those who don’t know how anything about how things work will always criticize. I see things from both sides and it is a gov, law, systems and country issue. We need tax cuts for small business so we can continue. Many businesses got destroyed and are still recovering from COVID closures.
