COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS FOR EMPLOYERS
A compliance inspection occurs when the government wants to ensure that employers are following immigration and employment laws. Failing a compliance inspection can accompany serious consequences like having your company name published in a public record of violators, large fines and the inability to hire foreign workers in the future.
With over 30 years of immigration law experience, the immigration compliance inspection lawyers at Goldman Associates can help you avoid penalties, bad publicity, and safeguard your ability to hire foreign workers.
Details about Compliance Inspections
These inspections are government assessments that check adherence to immigration and employment rules. Employers who hire foreign workers must meet stringent restrictions, including:
- ensuring that wages and working conditions match what was promised in the LMIA
- maintaining complete and accurate personnel records
- complying with Canadian labour and immigration laws.
Failing an immigration compliance inspection may result in fines, reputational damage, and the inability to hire foreign staff. Goldman Associates’ lawyers have experience helping employers with immigration compliance inspections. Lawyers can help businesses prepare for inspections and manage potential compliance issues.

Understanding immigration compliance inspections can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to answer your most pressing questions about this crucial process. Common inquiries include the following:
What Is an LMIA, and Why Is It Important?
LMIAs are documents that some employers in Canada require before hiring foreign workers during a proven labour shortage. Immigration compliance inspections are needed to ensure employers meet the requirements of an LMIA.
What Happens During Compliance Inspections?
During a compliance inspection employee documents are reviewed. That includes payroll documents, contracts, and job descriptions. There may also be an interview with the employees and the employer to confirm that working conditions meet LMIA standards.
