A positive LMIA will be issued by Service Canada if an assessment indicates that hiring a temporary foreign worker (TFW) will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labour market. A positive LMIA must be obtained by an employer before hiring a TFW for a specific occupation. This list excludes all personal names, such as employers of caregivers or business names that use or include personal names. For this reason, the list is not complete and does not reflect all employers who requested or received an LMIA. The data provided in this report tracks TFW positions on Labour Market Impact Assessments only, not TFWs that are issued a work permit or who enter Canada. The decision to issue a work permit rests with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); therefore, not all positions approved result in a work permit or a TFW entering Canada. The data includes all positions on all positive LMIAs as issued, and therefore also includes any position that may have been subsequently cancelled by the employer. For information on the number of work permits issued, please consult Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Facts and Figures: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/statistics/menu-fact.asp. Note: From Q1 2018 to Q3 2023 data, LMIAs in support of Permanent Residence (PR) were excluded from published employer lists. As of the publication of Q4 2023 employer lists (published in April 2024) and going forward, all LMIAs in support of 'Permanent Residence (PR) Only' will be included in the employer lists. However, previous employer lists will not be updated. Should an employer wish to contact ESDC concerning the accuracy of this information, please contact NA-TFWP-PTET@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca.

The Canadian project logistics market, valued at approximately $770 million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by substantial investments in infrastructure projects, particularly within the energy and mining sectors. A Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.35% is anticipated from 2025 to 2033, indicating a significant expansion of the market. Key drivers include increasing cross-border trade, the development of large-scale energy projects (oil sands, renewable energy), and the ongoing modernization of transportation infrastructure. Growth is further fueled by the rising demand for efficient and specialized logistics solutions, catering to the complex needs of project cargo, including oversized and heavy equipment, and the need for specialized handling and warehousing. The market is segmented by service type (transportation, forwarding, warehousing, and value-added services) and end-user industry (oil and gas, petrochemicals, mining, energy, construction, and manufacturing).
