I have recently created an express entry profile and jobbank as well, but till now i did not get a single job match.
I have been directly applying to jobs via indeed, and jobbank directly.

But I want to know, how much does the LMIA cost for Employers when the candidate has an express entry profile?

As far I googled I could find that it would be around 1000$ which is almost equal to the entire processing of Express Entry PR.
If anyone could clarify it that would be helpful.

We are in express entry pool right. Does that mean we come under free LMIA?
Yes - however meeting the advertising requirements typically costs the employer anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
