The official list

Employment and Social Development Canada, TFWP: Positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Employers List

Employment and Social Development Canada publishes, each quarter, the employers that received a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, with the positions approved and where they are.

A positive LMIA was for particular positions in that quarter. It shows the employer has hired through the program; it does not mean an open role will be supported.
