Every High-Wage LMIA application requires a transition plan showing how your business will reduce reliance on temporary foreign workers over time. A weak or generic transition plan is one of the most common reasons High-Wage applications are refused or delayed for further information. We draft transition plans specific to your business and industry.
ESDC officers review transition plans against the employer's actual hiring history, industry, and job offer. A template document copied from a generic source — without tailoring to the employer's real business, region, or occupation — is a common flag that leads to a request for more information or an outright refusal.
A strong transition plan demonstrates concrete, credible activities your business will undertake — not just general statements of intent.
Understanding your current workforce, hiring challenges, and growth plans.
Writing specific, achievable commitments tied to your actual operations.
Confirming the plan is consistent with your job offer, wage level, and recruitment history.
Submitting the transition plan as part of your complete High-Wage LMIA application.
