Yes, from India. The application is for GSS (not ICT)

I think they have been asking for these documents randomly. It is not mandatory to share these during the application itselff

Lawyers haven't received anything yet. Do you know if for spouses open work permit , Amy educational or experience certificates were asked? My lawyers didn't asked me for her documents but mine. Mine is ICT visa from US.
Yes it was asked in my friend's case.

Hello everyone,
My employer filed an ICT GSS LMIA-exempt WP on 18th august, completed biometrics on 1st September.
On 26th Sep, I received an additional documents request, asking for previous and current employer's relieving, appointment and experience letters along with last 3yrs form 16 and 6 months paystubs.
Has any one else got such request? Or you provided all these documents while submitting the application itself?

Hey, My employers Attorney's office did ask for these documents before they submitted my GTS (LMIA required) application. I reckon these are really essential documents to submit for a WP. The biggest challenge for me was to get a reference letter from my all previous employers, because I never got that issued from any of them..
So yes, the request from IRCC to you is completely legit here. Thanks

Thanks for your comment. Then in that case how did you manage without a reference letter?

Hi There,

My employer applied for LMIA taking third-party help, under Global Talent Stream. How much time does it take for them to receive the LMIA?

Are there any delays because of Covid-19.

Is there a way to check the status of the LMIA process?
Hey there, have you had any feedback on your LMIA?
My employer did the same on August 6th
