How come they weren't willing to pay 3x the salary to hire qualified Canadians/PRs? If an employer wants to pay me 3x for the same work I'm doing, it'd be hard for me to refuseAndreasChen said:Very consistent to my experience. I interviewed a company where they can easily steal people from US if not because of the LMO hurdle. They ended up outsourcing that chunk of business to a U.S. consulting firm at much much higher cost (>>3x).
Funny that someone told me this is not important and not hurting Canada's economy. Not sure how much is hurting, like the Soviets?
That being said, if the LMIA procedure is making employers do crazy things to avoid it, it's probably too strict. Obviously protecting Canadians' jobs is a must, but whoever in the government that made the LMIA policies might not have enough real world employing experiences, or simply didn't care about for political reasons. Both are not surprising to me..
