A company in BC has obtained an LMIA-based work permit. Three months after the foreign national started working for the company, a new law raised minimum wage in BC to $22.00 per hour. However, this increase means that the employer needs to let go one employee. As the foreign national was hired last, the company will need to let go the latest hire. Two years down the road, the above company has become extremely financially successful and is willing to hire another foreign worker in order to meet their labour needs. The company wishes to know if they are permitted to hire a foreign worker again, given their previous situation. What is your advice? Select one: It can't be justified that the company did not allow the previous employee to complete the contract, and thus, the company most likely will not be permitted to hire more foreign nationals. The company should register a brand-new company. Although these were exceptional financial circumstances, an LMIA would be banned for 6 years. Most likely the company will be able to hire new employees
