Hi all, I am awaiting my 2nd LMO - the first took 12 weeks and 5 days, but after I'd sold my business here in the UK and got flights to Canada the total 'barsteward' of an employer told me there was no job for me!! Fortunately I found another one, but of course the beeping LMOs can't be...

(bump!) Does the same apply if you are entering Canada, leaving, and returning from the UK? I've got a LMO/work permit for a job but haven't started work yet; was hoping to go out now, come back to the UK for christmas and return in January. Would it be easier to just say I am starting work in...

Hi all, I (finally) got a positive LMO, and we've booked flights with the intention of getting my work permit for my job offer and an open work permit for my husband at the airport. We're from the UK so we should be able to do this at port of entry, right? Other than the LMO and my job offer...

18th October - it seems they then waited another week before actually posting the damn thing! Gonna go out there in a fortnight to visit, then make The Big Move after Christmas I think. Gonna try getting the WP at the airport. Quick question though: flights from the UK go via Toronto then to...

Finally got my positive LMO through today! 12 weeks, 5 days. An absolutely agonising wait! Best of luck to everyone still waiting - stay positive, they will arrive some day!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D As you may have gathered, I'm a little excited because FINALLY MY LMO HAS ARRIVED!! Positive, as well. 12 weeks and five days after applying. So, for anyone else still waiting, (Sanju1986??) it will happen...

12 weeks and 2 days. I am going mad.

12 weeks and 2 days - STILL WAITING. AAAAAAAAARGH.

I've been offered a job in Saskatchewan in a similar industry, but its at managerial level so we naively assumed it would be a bit easier. Applied for an LMO on 29th July, so it's been 12 weeks and 2 days so far, and we're STILL WAITING.

Yeah - same issue, we applied 29th July, and it's a barista trainer/coffee shop managers job. Heard precisely nothing. GoldenArm - Thanks for your support. I rang service canada and they were surprisingly polite and as helpful as they could be, (and you get a nice bit of Vivaldi when you're on...

Still nothing... 11 weeks four days.... My employer is currently trying to do the job he offered me, AND his own, AND recruit more staff locally. The guy really doesn't have the time to chase up Service Canada. He also says "be patient because it's only been 2 weeks since he sent off his...

I have now been waiting eleven weeks and two days for my LMO to come back. Is this normal? Has anyone else had to wait this long or longer? Would love to know if I am not alone in the frustration!!! :'( :(

they rang him 2 weeks ago asking for his business license, so we kinda assumed its imminent, but heard nothing since! :'(

ELEVEN WEEKS NOW. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. This is not funny any more.

that's excellent news, thank you!

thanks - will do!

Hi all, could do with a bit of advice about moving to Saskatchewan. I am being positive and hoping my LMO should come through very soon - it's been 10 weeks now!! I know that if I get a temporary work permit with my LMO, my husband can get an open work permit and we can do all this at point of...

I've posted this on another thread but I've accepted a job in REgina, Saskatchewan. NOC 0631 LMO sent off 29th July, 29th Sept Service Canada call my employer asking for more details and his business licence NOTHING SINCE!! aaaaaaaargh. So frustrating! Ten weeks and counting!!! aaargh!!

Congratulations but.... *CRY* :o :( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Don't want to wait that long!!!

Thank you very much Goldenarm, helpful stuff! I've got more questions I'm afraid. We've got to sell our house here in the UK and my husband has to give a month's notice on his job, and we have a one year old to worry about as well. It may well be the case that I end up going over on my own for a...
