The Express Entry is not the same and does not have any processing times as its all to soon to get any data. You may need LMIA for the work permit Unless you have ITA invitation to apply then you will not get AOR for EE. There is not conflicts as they are two completely different things

well its only an invitation to apply.......you have 60 days to apply. So you have time to figure it out but CEC is straight forward

yes, the LMIA is all the employer. Its free for PR and $1000 for work permit. WHy not ask him to apply for both....a dual intent and get a work permit? If you're a carpenter you could look into PNP but you may need Canadian recognized qualification like red seal

Irish here, EE is straight forward and dont waste your money on a lawyer....consultant if you must but its all online and straight forward. So you have an LMIA approved job offer then? Create a profile and your points should be around 850+ Receive ITA Have medical done and upload it You...

Believe it or not...you need one from your home country.... Crazy i know right?

Human factors score doesnt really matter for this new system....at least at this early point. Canada has the best educated cab drivers and security guards in the world and the fact that highly educated immigrants can only find such work has caused the government to better match the skills gap to...

But the Toronto job market isnt even luke warm right now. When i came here over 3 years ago i wanted to come to Vancouver or Toronto but after looking hard at the possibilities of job success i decided to vote with my head and play it safe in Alberta. I have never heard of Alberta! But i knew...

One solution could be to apply for a work permit extension in order to get implied status for 2 months. This could give you the extra month of work experience. I'm not sure what type of permit you have but i would look into extending it with the goal of getting implied status

Think about it! The job advert MUST state the wage offered to the applicant and if this wage doesn't fall within the median range then they will deny the application because this is a MAJOR no no. The reason why the LMIA are here is because of employers hiring cheaper workers and leaving the...

Well i think just because foreign students get degrees or whatever doesnt mean that they will get a job. The government are obviously pairing getting a job (LMIA supported) with PR for reasons only known to themselves but i suspect it has something to do with future economic outlook. You could...

That would be seen as a positive for you but....BUT....the job application for job ban MUST MUST still be online until you get the positive LMIA. Otherwise they will reject it when they return to your application in 3 months looking for proof that your employer tried to hire Canadians...

The normal process when getting Lawyers/consultants involved with LMIA is that YOUR EMPLOYER MUST pay for their services! As they are working to get the LMIA for the employer NOT employee. If a lawyer says he can get you an LMIA be very very suspect and dont pay any money until you have an LMIA...

Well, from the CIC news story. 10000 applied for the first draw and 3000 got into the pool. THEN they draw out 779 people.....not by highest but by a DRAW...which means its RANDOM within the pool. Its still a draw! Which means some people dont get picked and must re-enter the pool for the next...

If you can get a company to get an LMIA approved job offer then your chances of success jump considerably due to the 600 points bringing your total to the top 10%

realistically, a guy with 1200 points can miss out on ITA over a guy with the lowest like 800. The first draw had 3000 in the pool for the draw in which 1 out of 4 got their ITA's. So even if you have 1200 points it could take 4 draws to get ITA? At least thats how i see it?

Yes OP, create your profile honestly first and then update it if and/or when you get the LMIA as these are NOT easy to get.

I think with more LMIA free spots the score will come down to 600 and below. 1200 is the max so without LMIA and PNP then 600 is the max you can get. So without the LMIA and PNP the score MUST come below 600. Make no mistake...there will always be LMIA and PNP in the pool and there are still...

Its a different climate for immigrants now. These new rules are designed to stem the tide of new people coming here so there isnt much anyone can do but be very thorough with their applications to give little excuses to deny.

The advertisement period is only 4 weeks. And typically the processing time for LMIA is another 3 months. What grounds did they deny his LMIA? This is very important as mine was denied the first time around also due to advertisements requirements set out by Service Canada and a few other minor...

Congrats....mine took 3 months and 2 days :P
