Please I need someone to explain to me how TFW LMIA works. Because I've done Medicals with my family, Biometrics with my spouse, then the agent in Canada told me that its now my application is fully completed, that we should wait for 6 months or more for work permit before IRCC will instruct them (the agent) to send our Passport for Visa Issuing.

It won't necessarily take six months. It could take a shorter period of time. What country are you located in?

I am in Nigeria
Current processing time for work permits from Nigeria is 33 weeks or just over 8 months. So most likely you will be waiting more than six months before you know if you are approved or refused.

I assume you know the job offer and LMIA are genuine. There are many job scams through agents so make sure what you have is a real job offer.

How do I know/differentiate real/genuine lmia/job offer? My NOC is Skilled B Type.
Did you pay money in exchange for the job? Have they offered you free accommodations / flight / food? Was it easy to get the job with no interview or a very short interview?

If you post the full job offer here, we should be able to tell you if it's fake or not.

Below is details of how we started with this agent.
Hello Everyone good afternoon, quick information regarding the Canada immigration process through work permit.

I would have loved to do a zoom call, but time is a big factor for me now. However, I will still be available to check on everyone and to answer all questions raised. Quick NEW information regarding the process.

1. First this is a work visa to Canada with available unskilled jobs and the job you are getting is not in your profession. Second the visa comes with flight and accommodation. Flight for primary only and accommodation for all. Accommodation is not the fanciest but it’s still a standard accommodation meaning it’s furnished and okay (besides, you can get more items if you need something). Lastly, the the money you are paying for the entire program, covers for LMIA fees, visa processing fees, work permit fees and accommodation and flight, and service fee, hence explaining the significant amount you are paying. So please be aware that the entire process it’s to ensure successful relocation for all applicants.
2. As already started, my deadline for accepting applicants documents and application will be the 20th of each month going forward. Any application accepted later than the set day will be processed for the following month. The reason is because we have less amount of time to do everything (such as as LMIA application, and job search).
3. One of the question that was raised was how long will this program stay open: the answer is it’s officially staying open till further notice. Am not sure exactly when and how long.
4. Lastly, I will have 1 hour independent calls with all applicants before travelling. And I will also suggest during the application time and processing, please if you can learn a skill, please learn it. Skills like driving, sewing, knitting, mechanic things, hair dressing, and more, plumbing too. The reason is because an immigrant coming to Canada with this skills can make additional side hustle money. For example me I drive passengers and am a lady, so women you are not exempted, cooking too...
5. Finally, let me tell you how the process works. After I have received your payments and documents, the process begins. I will send you documents back to back, and you fill out your information correctly. Once done please be patient and wait, I will be communicating with all applicants via email once in 2 weeks, and guess what in those two week period, I won’t have concrete information because that is the processing time, job search, LMIA application, and correct imputing of files and waiting for the Canada government, so please at this point we should all wait patiently during that time. So I will just be communicating because I need to keep you informed. So after the 3 months is past, I will present the jobs that the company have to you and then you choose and right away you can go for medicals and biometrics while my agency is sorting your flight and accommodation arrangements. Now biometrics is the key, so please before you start this whole process ensure there is no criminal record, and no misrepresentation of information. So be honest to the core and ASK me questions please, very important. And that should be everything.

Summary, important deadlines for immigrating to Canada. Applications received on or before the 20th of each months. Applications are open till June 20th, 2021, so please take advantage of now. The first three months of the process is the waiting time, so please don’t crucify me with questions on how is my application going and what’s up (just kidding ooo), please ask me whatever you want, I will get back to you. This is it for now. Let me know if you have any concerns. Good luck, Ima.

Fake. No employer gives accommodations or airfare. Don’t give money. Employers pay for LMIA, not you.

We haven't set our eyes on our LMIA, It was only the job offer sent to me to sign, acknowledge and send back yo them. This whole process commenced February last year. We've paid full. Even Visa Fees. The package said its only me the principal applicant whom will be paid flight fees for, but for my spouse and kids, I'll pay for their flight tickets.

Can you share the actual job offer? Did the employer interview you? Who is the employer?

This was part of the message I got initially when we began this process.


I just thought I let you know that I have not forgotten you and your family. Just a little info, please read below:


LMIA is short for Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). LMIA is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.

In summary, an LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.

An employer has to apply for an LMIA for foreign workers. Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.

This is what happens during stage1 of your visa processing with my immigration group, and that is why it takes 3-4months.

To apply for a work permit, the documents needed are:

a contract
job offer
a copy of the LMIA, and
the LMIA number
Not to worry, all of this is being sorted out for you. Just sit back, relax, and expect god news from us. We will soon send a mail calling you for medicals and biometrics.
