It goes into effect November 1. If you don’t have a LMIA by then, you won’t be getting one unless your job classification falls into one of the groups they are in need of.

What about the amount which has been deducted from employer credit card?
As per canada immigration website, they will not deduct the amount if they don't gonna be process the application, in my case the amount already been deducted.

Then the employer should be asking for refund.
