Additional Information

In light of my current circumstances, I would like to emphasize that if you are considering me for employment, obtaining a sponsorship through the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process is a necessary step. Presently, I hold a visit visa which enables my entry into Canada. I am currently based and gainfully employed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This sponsorship is crucial to align my legal status with the requirements of the Canadian job market, and I believe that my skills and dedication make me a strong candidate for the opportunity at hand. Your understanding of the significance of LMIA sponsorship in my journey towards contributing effectively would be greatly appreciated.
