Low-wage LMIA changes: 2-year duration and early childhood educators

Two low-wage LMIA changes took effect on November 6, 2026. The maximum job duration can now be up to two years for applications sent from that date. Early childhood educators also gained an exception to a processing restriction. Other changes are proposed for March 2027 and need provincial or territorial opt-in. Check which date, place and job apply to your file. A maximum period is not a promise that an application will be approved.
