Her last LMIA was approved 20 months ago, and she now is ready to submit a new one as she has recently acquired some new contracts and there is a shortage of qualified personnel for the positions.

Jeffrey wishes to hire 2 speciality cooks to work in his restaurant in Vancouver. The wage he plans to pay is $23.00 per hour. You conduct a wage review and discover that the prevailing wage for the position is $17.00/hr and the provincial/territorial median is $25.00/hr. Will the rate Jeffrey offers going to be an issue? a)
No, because Jeffrey is required to pay an hourly wage between $17.00 and
$25.00 and since he's offering $23.00, there will be no issue b)
No, because Jeffrey is required to pay 10 percent beyond the noted median wage and since the median hourly wage is $17.00, he won't have any issues as $23/hr is beyond 10% of $17.00 c)
No because the proffered hourly rate is more than the prevailing wage for the position. d)
Yes, because while Jeffrey's proffered rate is acceptable for the BC median wage, it does not meet national minimum wage.
