Hi Littlegirl,

Can you please tell me what is your employment start date?
My employer wants me to start working as soon as I am authorized to work, but we don’t know how long it will take for LMIA process. I am not sure what date should be my start date. Can you please guide me?

Thank you.

Hi Youthberry
I am already working for my employer for a while now. My LMIA is for express entry. I would say atleast 2 months from now if your job position ad hasn't been put up yet, but confirm with an immigration lawyer.

All the best!

Starting to feel stressful as my LMIA has been sent out for a month, but even no file number yet.

Anyone knows what happen in this situation?

Hey , I'm wondering if anyone is in a similar position as myself. My company applied the 25th of May for my LMIA (2225) landscape technician, in BC . Fee has been deducted and file number received. It's been over 7 months now since this the application has been submitted and my Immigration lawyer has escelated the process three times now. My visa ended on Oct 10th , so I have not been able to work since then. Currently on holiday status.

Hi, if it is for PR LMIA then it will be done within 2-3 months (the entire process). Else, normal LMIA is taking 6-7 months and depending on NOC category.

I think most people here are applying dual-inten LMIA, which is a type of PR LMIA, but still most of them get long waiting.

Can anyone please tell me how much time it takes to release the LMIA after approval?

Since I have applied in Paper, do I will receive hard copy or only via email only ?

Hi guys, I applied just regular LMIA on May, but haven't replied yet, so my immgration lawyer wants to apply dual intent LMIA.

And is there anyone who know the differences between dual intent LMIA and PR support LMIA?
If so, can anyone apply PR support LMIA?

Thanks~
