Hi there,
I recently found something on CIC website that I think it is quite useful to share with people have similar situation as me.
I hold PGWP expiring in May 2012 and I'm applying a LMO through my employer because I need to apply a new work permit. But I just found out that I may not need to apply for a LMO, because of this:
********Working temporarily in Canada: Jobs that require a work permit but no labour market opinion*******
*********Workers nominated by a province for permanent residence
A person who has been nominated by a province for permanent residence and has a job offer from an employer based in that province.********
I applied my permanent resident through Provincial Nominee Alberta and it is approved, so I can apply my new work permit directly without applying LMO first, according to this rule. (((((w3.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit.asp)))))
I'm almost 100% sure it is true, can someone please comment on this?
thanks
Jay
