LMO processing Time - Alberta

[racxblacx]

wideopenspaces,
thanks for reply, what you say makes sense, I was thinking more likely 12 weeks, hopefully not 14 though! I've read some posts that say 21 weeks - very disheartening.

I don't think I have to worry about the employer changing their mind on my job offer, they're the ones chasing me. I actually have my current company trying to transfer me to canada at the same time... so it's a race of LMOs.

My prospective employer applied under NOC 2145, this was how it was advertised on Job Bank. though actually its a management position, so I think the application will be rejected.

Four weeks now...my Operation Manager just call me today to sign another contract... yes another.. : I have been working for them since June 2011 with an open work permit but will expire soon. They send the application first days of last February 2012, so this new contract is almost the same but more specific with Transportation Cost and Accommodation and for extra 24 months.

I know is a good light 8) but this happens to any buddy here before get the positive or neutral LMO ?????

What you think about this????

gershscott - Sorry, can't answer your question. Have you heard anything yet? If not, have you been in contact with the employer?

Are there any more updates for Alberta LMOs?

I have not heard anything and am slowly losing faith, next week will be month 4. I have 7 weeks left on my TRV and no longer have a job to go back to. The employer still wants me to join them but getting any info from the agent is proving difficult at best. Need to start working on plan B i guess. How are things shaping up for you? I noticed that job bank is up and running again. Cheers G

I'm sorry you haven't heard anything yet. Try to hang in there. I don't think a long wait necessarily means something bad though. They just seem to be extremely behind in processing. At the same time, having a Plan B is always a good idea.

The employer submitted the ad again on Monday since Job Bank is finally up and running. The ad is not showing up yet (it is pending until they can review it I guess) so I don't think they can start counting the 14 days until it is viewable. It has also been advertised on another site since near the end of February. If the site had not been down we would have the application sent in by now. Very frustrating.

Wishing you the best!

Karan,

I'm sorry but I really don't have any answers to your questions. I don't know what the current LMO processing time is for Alberta. I just know mine took 14 weeks - applied mid November and found out it was denied 14 weeks later. We are advertising now and i will post my times when we apply. Good luck to you!

Hi,

Unfortunately I think it will be treated the same. Mine is also on the short list occupation but it took 14 weeks to be approved.
