Hi My name is moka and my boss applied LMIA for me at March 2024 and I am waiting for the positive LMIA.
I currently have a open work perit ( working-holiday visa ) and my visa is expiring in July.
I checked the proccesing time and it says it will take 90 business days for LMIA and another 90 days for a work permit （if I apply it on online).
But I will need to leave Canada around the end of this year so I would like to expedite the process.
I heard that if I apply the work permit at port of entry, I can get the work permit immediately.
But my conceren is that I will lose the maintained status if I can not get the work permit at port of entry since it deoends on an officer that I will be talking to at that time.
Has anyone applied a work permit with a positve LMIA under maintained status??
I would appriciate your help
