Questions

Does a sponsor licence mean this role is sponsored?

The filings show that the employer has sponsored before, not that it will sponsor this role. Ask the employer before you apply.

What is an LMIA?

A Labour Market Impact Assessment is the approval an employer in Canada usually needs before hiring a foreign worker. The numbers are the positions approved in the last 12 months, from the decisions Employment and Social Development Canada publishes every quarter.

What do these science and research roles pay?

15 of the 210 roles state the pay. The middle of their posted ranges is $68k a year (converted to US dollars).

How fresh is this?

Each register is reloaded when its publisher updates it (the US and UK files weekly, Canada every quarter), and every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours. A role that closes leaves the page at the next nightly rebuild.
