Hi Pao!
I understand your frustration ! And sometimes I also feel like quitting and just going home. But don't! At least not until you really tried everything!!!! And I mean everything!

Oh and by the way - I filed my tax return for 2008 and since I am not eligible for CPP and EI as a temporary foreign worker I received at least a partial refund via the tax return from CRA (Canada Revenue Agency).

Hang in there...

When did you apply for your LMO and where?
I applied in Ontario (Toronto) 9 weeks ago and am still waiting... supposively they are processing applications from end of March right now.

Take care

I know things are slowed down extremely! My company hired a lawyer for my LMO and still ... nothing since 9 weeks! Its hard I know....
