🔴 Active LMIA Postings Monitor

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

This tool provides STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ONLY. High risk scores are NOT accusations of wrongdoing and do not prove fraud or misconduct. All employers should be presumed innocent. Scores indicate patterns that MAY warrant further investigation by authorities. For informational and research purposes only. Verify all information independently.

📊 Methodology (v4.0 - Active Postings Risk Assessment)

Risk Assessment Score (0-100+): Natural scoring model for active LMIA job postings. Higher scores indicate statistical patterns suggesting potential compliance concerns based on wage, skill level, and affordability metrics. Scores naturally sum to 0-100 with optional +5 IRCC violator bonus and +15 no posting penalty.

Risk indicators considered (6 core factors):

• 🆕 Wage Premium Analysis (0-40 pts): If employers "can't find anyone," wages should exceed baseline, not meet minimum. At/below median = 40 pts, 1-5% above = 30 pts, 6-10% above = 20 pts, 11-20% above = 10 pts, >20% above = 0 pts
• Low-Skill Position Penalty (TEER) (0-15 pts): Based on NOC TEER level. TEER 5 = 15 pts, TEER 4 = 10 pts, TEER 3 = 5 pts. Low-skill positions are easiest to train locals for
• High-Risk Occupation (0-15 pts): Occupations with historically higher exploitation rates (food service, accommodation, cleaning, labour)
• Affordability Crisis (0-15 pts): Wage must be sufficient to live in work location. Below living wage = 15 pts, monthly income < 1.5x rent = 10 pts, < 2x rent = 5 pts
• Industry Risk Profile (0-10 pts): Certain industries have documented patterns of TFW program abuse: food service, accommodation, cleaning services, general labour
• No Public Posting Penalty (0-15 pts): LMIA requires public job posting attempts. If no active Job Bank posting found when checking, may indicate employer didn't genuinely try to hire Canadians
• Known IRCC Violator (0-5 pts bonus): Employer appears on IRCC Non-Compliant Employers list. Requires exact employer name + province match for legal defensibility

Total Score: 0-100+ points (6 core factors: 40+15+15+15+10+15=110 max). Optional +5 IRCC violator bonus. Most postings score 0-100; extreme cases can exceed 100. Click any row to see detailed score breakdown. Read full methodology documentation →
