    on the Canada Job Bank ...

    Yes I probably got that time frame confused with something else. I wonder if I can ask the following question: I don't think a private individual can properly manage this process of searching for an employer who will or has submitted an LMIA, make up a contract, etc. etc. and I don't see those...
