How does the employer establish the financial ability to pay the wage to the foreign worker for whom LMIA is being filed?
Per my understanding, supporting documents for LMIA is business legitimacy which includes one of the followings, if LMIA was not filed during the last two years (there is a long list, but this is only the first item):
Obviously, the employer has to be able to pay other expenses of the company as well. How are the other expenses calculated? There should be a rule to state all these facts. But, I did not find any.
Lastly, after the approval of LMIA, for how long the employer will be responsible to pay the wage? The answer is forever if the position is permanent? Or, the first six years? Or, every time they file a new LMIA, they will be asked to prove they have paid the wage properly?
