The LMIA is often the slowest, most document-heavy part of a work-permit file — and the employer rarely knows what's needed. Lexova turns it into a guided flow: pick the stream, answer questions with Service Canada help text on every field, and watch the exact employer document checklist build itself.

How it works

1

Pick the stream

High-wage, low-wage, Global Talent, SAWP or agricultural — the wizard reshapes to the stream's rules.

2

Answer with built-in help

Every question carries plain-language ESDC guidance, so the employer answers confidently.

3

Checklist builds itself

Lexova assembles the exact document list from the stream and the answers — business legitimacy, recruitment, transition plan and more.

Why it matters

All 5 streams

One engine covers every LMIA stream with the right fields and documents for each.

Service Canada wording

Question text and document names mirror the official portal so nothing is lost in translation.

Validated before submission

Strict checks catch gaps and contradictions before the application is finalized.

Employer in the loop

The employer gets their own portal with exactly the items they owe — nothing more.
