[track002]

correct, since I from Mexico I don't need a visa, I will be traveling to Mexico and come back to apply at a POE

Is this your employer's first LMIA?

Hy guys, anybody has any idea how long it will take an lmia to be approved if the current status is "Assessment in progress"?

It's unpredictable at the moment. Some get an update in less than a few weeks others take a lot longer than that.

Yes it is

Decision rendered (positive): February 29th

Business days since application was sent 57 business days

Feels great to read such news. It's been a while. What surprising is that the duration... my employer had submitted my application on October 3rd and It's still in queued for assessment. I just hope, like yours, my employer gets an update soon. Fingers Crossed! Thanks for sharing your news. Congratulations!

So EDSC is assessing whether a LMIA is appropriate given the NOC. Is that a licensed NOC? Most jobs in your field are self employed where you rent a chair in a shop.

Hi Naturgurl, I see you are kind of an expert, are you able to send me a private message to make you some questions? I'm not sure since I wanted to apply at a POE, but with the new visa changes for Mexicans, not sure

I do not answer privately. You now need a TRV to enter Canada. You either appy inland and wait, or apply from Mexico outland for work permit with TRV and wait.
