A note on city counts
ESDC records the employer's address city. Multi-site employers register under their main address, so city tables understate hiring in surrounding communities. For the full provincial picture see LMIA jobs in Alberta and the province directory.
Live vacancies
Approvals show who can hire; live postings show who is hiring now. Search Job Bank — Temporary Foreign Workers for current postings from employers who have obtained or applied for an LMIA, then cross-check the employer against this register.
Frequently asked questions
How many LMIA employers are in Edmonton?
872 distinct employers with a Edmonton address hold approvals in the current window, for 1,843 positions.
Does the CMA unemployment rule affect Edmonton?
Edmonton is a census metropolitan area, so low-wage LMIA applications there are not processed when the CMA unemployment rate is 6% or higher, with exemptions for priority sectors. The official CMA table is updated quarterly on canada.ca.
Where do I see Edmonton employers' current vacancies?
On Job Bank's temporary foreign worker section. Approvals on this page show the employer's LMIA history; postings show this week's openings.
Is Edmonton hiring mostly in one sector?
The occupation table on this page ranks the city's approvals — in most large cities food service, cooking and retail lead by count, with sector strengths varying by city.
