$31.96 is the exact wage needed to qualify for the High-Wage Stream of the TFW Program. Since the position is not in Halifax, the employer would not be subject to a refusal to process if they filed below $31.96 but is subject to a 10% cap and could only get a 1 year work permit. The employer previously applied for an administrative assistant for $30 per hour in February, 2026. $30 per hour was the median wage at the time of submission to qualify for the High-Wage Stream which was raised to $31.96 in July, 2026. $31.96 is significantly above the median wage in Truro, NS as Bookkeepers are paid a median hourly rate of $21.63 per hour.

The amount of $39.00 is slightly higher than the median wage of $37.50 in Alberta that is required to file under the High-Wage Stream. If the employer filed below $37.50 their LMIA would be closed because of the high unemployment in Calgary.

They are currently offering their Assistant Manager a wage of $37.00 per hour.

There are a few interesting things about this employer. The first is that the location is a house (you can see the confirmed address in the second job posting and the postal code in Job Bank matches this address). The employer is a trucking company but has previously been approved for a Computer Network Technician in 2025. There are no public records for a registered carrier at this address or by this name in Ontario. All carriers have publicly accessible documents that show how many trucks they have, their mileage and other details, but this does not exist for the address or the name. There is a carrier with the same name in Surrey, BC with one truck, however I think this is a coincidence. In Google Maps there is a flatbed truck parked outside the house with no logo on it. There are also two other trucks visible in the back. The lack of public documents leads me to think the business is a subcontractor for a different business which is why they don't have any paperwork.

Why this type of business needs two technical roles is very questionable as most trucking companies would not have one of these roles let alone at their private residence.

Duties of the Kitchen Manager:

Establish methods to meet work schedules

Requisition food and kitchen supplies

Supervise and co-ordinate activities of staff who prepare and portion food

Train staff in job duties, sanitation and safety procedures

Estimate ingredient and supplies required for meal preparation

Ensure that food and service meet quality control standards

Address customers' complaints or concerns

Maintain records of stock, repairs, sales and wastage

Supervise and check assembly of trays

Supervise and check delivery of food trolleys

Duties of the Restaurant Manager:

Analyze budget to boost and maintain the restaurant’s profits

Evaluate daily operations

Monitor staff performance

Plan and organize daily operations

Recruit staff

Set staff work schedules

Supervise staff

Train staff

Balance cash and complete balance sheets, cash reports and related forms

Conduct performance reviews

Cost products and services

Enforce provincial/territorial liquor legislation and regulations

Organize and maintain inventory

Ensure health and safety regulations are followed

Negotiate arrangements with suppliers for food and other supplies

Address customers' complaints or concerns

Both positions require only a secondary school and 1-2 years of experience.

Both positions are slightly above the High-Wage Stream qualifying wage of $38.40 in BC. When unemployment is above 6% the employer is not allowed to file a LMIA for below this wage.

This business is considered a local landmark in Mission and is featured on TV. It was featured heavily on the TV show Riverdale.

I am not sure why this business needs so many managers or what their profit margins are like to afford 5 managers being paid $80k a year each.

This business is run out of the same unit as Intrinsic Innovations a start-up incubation business that runs a co-working space. The job posting for the Web Designer says that the job is not remote and must be performed in person. The employer received two previous positive LMIAs for an Administrative Assistant and Administrative Officer in 2023 and 2024 so they must all be there in person in this space.

The amount of $37.85 is slightly above the High-Wage Stream median wage of $37.50 per hour in Alberta. If it was offered below $37.50 the LMIA would not be processed.

The wage offer is 8 cents above the median wage for Ontario to qualify for the High-Wage Stream. Although Kingston is open to the Low-Wage Stream due to the unemployment rate being below 6%, the employer can request a 3 year work permit and isn't subject to any maximum limits on how many workers they can employ through the High-Wage Stream. This appears to have been intentionally raised as a recent posting from June 26, 2026 shows that they were offering $27.47 per hour, but this was deleted and raised to $37 before they submitted the LMIA.

This business is interesting. It states that it is a consulting firm. When you look at the list of consultants the director is listed as Vasudha Aggarwal and the senior consultant is Sushant Sharma.

Sushant Sharma (slides 2 and 3) runs an immigration firm called Kytero Immigration with offices in Delhi, India and Mississauga, ON.

Vasudha Aggarwal (slides 4 and 5) is a real estate agent in Brampton.

Despite them being prominently featured as consultants in the website, their LinkedIn pages do not mention their work with Kytero Consulting at all.

Slides 6 and 7 show that they have other employees such as Peter Sanders and Andrew Philip who have their pictures displayed there.

Slide 9 shows that they have received several prominent LMIAs approved over the last few years including a Senior Manager in 2023. There is no mention of this Senior Manager on their consultants page.

Slide 10 shows they are also advertising for a Digital Marketing Coordinator.

The duties of the position are:

Evaluate the operations of a department providing administrative services

Manage the operations of a department providing several administrative services

Direct and advise staff engaged in providing records management, security, finance, purchasing, human resources or other administrative services

Direct and control corporate governance and regulatory compliance procedures within establish

Hire and train or arrange for training of staff

Plan, administer and control budgets for client projects, contracts, equipment and supplies

When you click Octopus Zoom's link you are taken to the web page on slide 2 which has no information about the business at all.

Searching the address and security shows another company called OZINT Security operates there. These could be the same business but OZINT has extensive online presence and reviews.

Slide 3 shows a recent job posting on a LMIA ghost site which shows that people were directed to email @octopuszoom.com which makes me think that OZINT and Octopus Zoom may operate the same but are two different corporations. Interestingly, the old job posting showed an offered wage of $58.00 per hour. They may have already filed and got approved for this position.

The last slide shows that Octopus Zoom was approved for two administrative managers in 2022 and 2023. In the 4 years since they do not have an operational website or any talk about the business.
