Job Bank Canada LMIA Jobs Scraper & Employer Leads

Get every LMIA job on Canada's Job Bank (jobbank.gc.ca): postings from employers who applied for, or were granted, a Labour Market Impact Assessment to hire a temporary foreign worker. Each row includes the employer's application email as published on Job Bank, the NOC 2021 code, wage, hours, vacancies, the employer's address and the LMIA status. Schedule it and it returns only the LMIA jobs that are new, changed or closed since the last run.

Built for immigration consultants and RCICs, foreign-worker recruitment agencies, settlement organisations and anyone who needs a current list of Canadian employers using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Why use this scraper

• LMIA only, by default. No setup: the default input keeps postings with LMIA requested or Approved LMIA and drops the rest. Every row says which (lmiaStatus).
• Employer contact included. Job Bank hides the application email behind a "Show how to apply" button. The actor reads that block for you: applyEmail, mail and in-person addresses, apply links, the job reference number, required documents and screening questions. No extra charge.
• Search by what you place. Keyword, city (resolved through Job Bank's location service so it stays local), province, postal code or NOC 2021 code. Batch several searches in one run.
• Change-only monitoring. Run it daily and get only new, updated (with changedFields) and expired LMIA jobs. Unchanged jobs are not saved and not charged.
• Numbers, not text. Wage min / max / unit, hours per week, vacancies, plus Job Bank's median wage for the occupation and region, so you can compare the offer with the prevailing wage.

What LMIA status means

• LMIA requested: the employer could not find a Canadian worker and applied for an LMIA. The application is under review.
• Approved LMIA: the LMIA was granted for this position.

Both are public flags that Job Bank shows on the posting. They are the strongest public signal that an employer is hiring through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Use cases

• Immigration consulting. A weekly list of employers with open LMIA positions in your clients' occupations, with the email to send a resume to.
• Foreign-worker recruitment. Find employers already approved to hire from abroad, by NOC code and province.
• Compliance and research. Track which occupations and regions rely on LMIA hiring, and compare posted wages with the median wage.
• Job alerts. Schedule a monitoring run per NOC code or city and forward only new postings.

Monitoring scheduled runs

Set monitoringMode to New, updated and expired only, choose a stateName such as bc-cooks, and schedule the actor. The first run is the baseline (every job is "new"). Later runs return new jobs, jobs whose content changed ("updated", with changedFields such as ["salary", "vacancies"]), and jobs no longer listed ("expired"). Expiry is only decided when every search ran to its last page. State lives in a key-value store in your account (jobbank-monitor-<stateName>); resetState starts over.

FAQ

Is every LMIA job on Job Bank included? Every posting Job Bank flags as LMIA requested or approved that matches your search. Employers who hold an LMIA but did not flag the posting cannot be identified from Job Bank.

Why do some rows have no applyEmail? The employer chose Direct Apply, mail, in person or a website instead. Those routes are in apply.

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor routes through residential proxy by default at no extra cost.

Can I get all Job Bank jobs, not only LMIA? Set lmia to Any. For a general Job Bank scraper, see the JobBank Scraper below.

For AI agents & LLM apps

Rows are typed JSON with a stable schema: lmiaStatus as an enum, numbers for wage, hours and vacancies, lists for tasks and requirements. An MCP-enabled agent can call this actor to answer "which employers in Alberta have open LMIA cook positions, and how do I apply?" from live data.
