Ok thanks. I have emailed HR to see what they say. Thank you for the offer to help with the application! I'm actually planning to apply at the POE as I'm arriving from the US so won't be applying online. I'm guessing I just give them the employment number at that point

Ok great thanks!

Does anyone know what the processing times are from when an employer submits a job offer exempt from LMIA in the Employer Portal to when it is approved and the work permit can be applied for? I'm applying for a SOWP and it says on the website that I will still need a valid job offer due to...

You do have to enter from the US. I believe this has always been the case even before Covid but I could be wrong there. I will be entering from the US. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/apply/poe.html

It has resumed as long as you're exempt from travel restrictions, so if you show a valid LMIA you will be able to apply. I checked with an immigration lawyer and the work permits are issued on the spot

I'm planning to apply for a work permit at the border in Canada after travelling from the US as our passports have valid eTA's. My partner is applying for an LMIA work permit as an essential worker and I will apply for an open work permit and I already have a job offer. My question is, do they...

No I applied from Australia

Hi. I'm applying for a work permit and a bit confused about the process after you apply. Once the work permit is approved, do I need to send my passport into a visa office to get stamped? If so, can that be any visa office or does it have to be in the country I applied from? The reason I ask is...

Yeah that was my thinking. I filled out all the application forms but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to apply specifically for GSS. How do you apply under GSS? Or is this done automatically based on your job NOC category?

Yes it should do. I'm a Software Development Manager so I'm pretty sure that should be covered. There didn't seem to be an option to apply together with her as the primary applicant with the LMIA and me as a spouse with an ICT. The only way to do that seemed to be the other way round with me as...

I thought about the OWP but I thought the ICT would be faster? Do you know if they would process the OWP at the same time as they process her work permit? My employer is in the same City.

My partner is an essential worker (Doctor) and has a job offer from a hospital in Canada along with and LMIA and is preparing to apply for a work permit. I have an offer from my current employer for a job in Canada so I need to apply for a Intra Company Transfer Work Permit. Do we need to apply...

Nice well hopefully the process will go smoothly from here! I'm in a bit of a difficult situation as I have my own company so am "eligible" for FSW as I have the right experience etc but it doesn't really make sense as I want to move the company to Vancouver not apply for a job in BC. Have...

I think it will go lower this year but not much. CIC committed to processing applications in less than 6 months so they are not going to take risks by inviting too many people on the new EE system in the first year. They are also now getting lots of applications via the Startup Visa which was...

Wow. I have a score of 414. Expected to get through in the first few draws. looks like next year is going to be more realistic. IMO once the election is over and the old FSW program has finished processing the backlog we'll see some movement. Have been trying the Startup Visa as an option. Got...

They are experts in immigration law so if you have a non standard application i.e. you need to apply for criminal rehabilitation or similar they will be helpful. If it's a standard application you may be able to do it on your own...

Just created my profile and got this on the confirmation screen. drive.google.com/file/d/0B6oXO97dGYfCSTJIWHluTVVqQnc/view?usp=sharing Does this mean the service is now active?

Hmm good point! Hopefully the amount of ITA's issued will pick up after June then...

Doesn't fill me with confidence that the scores will be dropping much... theglobeandmail.com/news/national/slow-start-for-express-entry-but-new-immigration-system-to-pick-up/article23887404

I think people who are already living and working in Canada should get priority over everyone else anyway. Without just giving them the "Canadian Experience" points. It's logical to put people already working in Canada in font of other people who are applying from outside Canada. I was only...
