I notice that a lot of my posts have been deleted recently. To whoever deleted my threads and posts, if you thought that I wouldn't notice, I noticed. Here's some food for thought. I'm not the one who drew first blood by posting a bunch of xenophobic drivel on this site. From the looks of...

So, it looks like whenever I post threads/comments about the inherent hypocrisy of some jingoistic Canadians on this forum, I get several thumbs downs and my thread always disappears. Today was an all-new record. It only took 5 minutes for me to get 3 more negative ratings and have my thread...

Now that the moratorium is over, my name is being added to my employer's open LMO (approved just a few days before the moratorium). The names will be sent off by the end of this week if they haven't already been sent off. How long would it take before I get the LMO in my name? ESDC says that it...

Is anyone here affected by the current moratorium on the food services sector? If so, how long do you anticipate this moratorium to last for? Please give a logical explanation for your forecast date. I'll give mine. I am somewhat doubtful of it ending this month despite the news reports that...

Did anybody get any LMOs for jobs in Saskatchewan lately? If you've gotten one recently or are currently still waiting, please post your info in the following format: Province: Saskatchewan NOC: 6641 Date Submitted: January 9, 2014 Date Received: still waiting Result: pending Feel free to post...

Hey guys, I'm starting a new thread about LMO processing times. If anyone has received an LMO (or had one rejected) since the beginning of 2014, please post your result in the following format: NOC: Province: Start date: Follow up date(s): End date: Result: Please be sure to put as much...

Does anyone know which factors affect the processing times of LMOs. Everyone knows that different provinces have different wait times but what else is there. I'm beginning to suspect that your NOC code and the size of the town/city may also be factors. It seems like IT workers are waiting the...

Does anyone know how long LMOs are taking right now? I've been waiting between 13 and 16 weeks for mine. I definitely knew that they had already applied by 13 weeks ago, but 16 weeks ago was when they told me that they were re-applying. How much longer should I expect to wait? My job is in fast...

As soon as my LMO arrives, I'm going to apply for my work permit at the port of entry. I'm visa-exempt and have the option of doing so there. I want to make sure that I have all my documents handy when I'm there. The CIC website lists the following: prove to an officer that you will leave...

I've been applying to several restaurants across Canada. Some seem not to mind my lack of work experience, but there are others who keep on saying that my work permit is likely to be rejected because I don't have 2 years experience in fast food. Again, I'm very young and spent a lot of my...

So, when my LMO arrives, I'm going to be applying for a job at the port of entry. I am currently unemployed and don't really have that many ties to my home country. In fact, I plan to apply for PR via provincial nomination. However, I intend to leave Canada if PR doesn't work out for me...

Exactly how do you prove that you will leave Canada at the end of your work permit. I've once stayed in Canada on a study permit (but never finished my degree) and left at the very end of it (not overstaying one day). Shouldn't that be evidence enough for them? I'm single and I don't have any...

Guys, One of my employers is re-applying for an LMO today and he told me that it now takes 5 months to get an LMO. Is this actually true or is this just another one of those rumors. I haven't seen anyone wait more than 14 weeks (3 and a half months)for an LMO. If this is true, then why is it...

Another job has finally gotten their LMO. This one applied in mid-July and just got theirs yesterday. That makes roughly 12 - 13 weeks. The processing center in BC was used. Does anyone else have similar LMO waits?

Please provide the dates your LMO application was submitted and the dates when you received a positive LMO? I've been waiting since mid-June (11 weeks ago) and haven't gotten a positive LMO yet. If you got an LMO within the past few months, please respond. The more recent the LMO, the better...

OK, I'm still waiting on an LMO here for a low-skilled hospitality job. How long are LMOs taking nowadays? I've been waiting for 6 weeks now and still nothing. How long do I have to go? This wait is really starting to get to me.

I've lived in 3 countries including Canada. I don't have any criminal record, but based on what I understand about applying for work permits at the port of entry, it says that I "may be asked to provide a police certificate". http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-eligible.asp#enter It...

I'm trying to figure out processing times here. If you have recently received an LMO, can you please state when you got your LMO, when it was applied for, and what province your job is in? Also, if anybody knows, how long are the processing times for LMOs that were applied for about 3-4 weeks ago?

I don't have any experience in the job that I'm going to receive an LMO for. Some employers refused to hire me because they were convinced that I'd be refused for having no prior restaurant experience. Others are completely OK with me not having any experience and is waiting on an LMO right now...

How long are LMOs taking nowadays? I googled LMO processing times and I'm coming up with significantly different answers. I just got a restaurant job in Canada and the employer said that he's waiting on an LMO. Assuming he just sent in the application this week (or possibly not much earlier than...
