Job Bank Canada LMIA Monitor

What does Job Bank Canada LMIA Monitor do?

Scrape and monitor public Job Bank Canada temporary foreign worker (TFW) jobs that carry an LMIA requested or Approved LMIA flag. You get structured rows with title, employer, location, salary, LMIA status, workplace type, and a stable job URL — ready for immigration desks, TFW recruiters, and MCP agents.

This Actor reads only public Job Bank HTML (jobbank.gc.ca). It does not access IRCC accounts, private LMIA case files, or employer portals.

Why use it?

• Source LMIA-linked openings instead of a generic Canada jobs dump
• Filter by keyword, city, province, LMIA status, and workplace type
• Schedule change-only monitoring (new / updated / expired) with a named state
• Optional detail enrich for description, hours, languages, and NOC when published
• Predictable Pay per event pricing at $0.005 per saved job

Best fit

Use this Actor when you need live Job Bank TFW/LMIA postings or a scheduled watchlist.

For LinkedIn, Indeed, or remote specialty boards, use sibling job Actors in the portfolio instead.

Builder's note

Job Bank serves server-rendered search cards. LMIA facets are fskl=101010 (requested) and fskl=101020 (approved) on the TFW pool (fsrc=32). Prefer Residential Canada proxy; direct fetches from some networks time out.
