Approved to hire foreign workers

6 employers, 7 positions, 4 quarters

Employers issued a positive labour market impact assessment for this occupation in Saskatchewan, as Employment and Social Development Canada publishes them each quarter. An approval is a position on an LMIA in that quarter: not a vacancy today, not a promise to hire you, and not a work permit. The department leaves out employers named after a person, so the list is not complete.
