strange HRSDC

[fyang1985]

My employer filed an E-LMO application four months ago.he called service canada ask how can it takes so long.the reply is I do know.the hrsdc is strange.they want me wait to die?

Are you about to die?  If so, I would spend my last few months doing something other than waiting for immigration?  If not, you are in the same boat as a lot of other people.  Things take time, usually longer than they say.

China has one of the longest processing times in the world for Canadian visas

It is none of Chinese business,It is service canada

Correction,You are in the line for ELMO of people from China.Other countries are faster For example Taiwanese can finish their PR documentation in 3 months,Shanghai is one year Hong Kong is 6 months

I do not think what you said is correction.what you said is PR application.mine is ELMO application,no one would care about where you come from.

Hi Fyang,
I really don't understand why it is taking so long this year, I had my Lmo processed in a month 1/2 last year (in toronto). When I called the Human Resources Canada they told me the processing time whose 20 to 25 business days, and I have been waiting for 43 days now to have my Lmo renewed.
Why is it taking so long I have no idea.
PS: let me know as soon as you get yours.

Hi,lalala,
this is so strange,my employer called them ,but no one in govt could told him anything.so he re-sumbitted all the file again.he is trying find out what is happening.

if I get the LMO result ,i will tell you

[lalala]

Where is your employer located? And when did they apply? Is it the first time apply for an LMO on your behalf or is it an extension/ renewal of LMO?
The Human resources never contacted your employer since the apply for the Lmo?

You may wanna start looking for another employer. I recommend you visit this site for jobs:

http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/

The positions in the following list take around a week for the LMO to be approved in Alberta and BC only:

The positions for Occupations under pressure that are not on the list above, should take around a month:

God bless you.
