Hi All! Quick question. Does employer on lmia application need to specify whether employee wants to stay temporarily or permanently? I am asking because my employer applied for an Lmia and asked me this question, do I want to stay in Canada permanently? As you can imagine I've said yes, hoping...

Quick question folks. Do I need ECA when applying for a temp work permit (class A)? I don't see anything about it in supporting documentations section...

did you added 1 year of experience? Try that and see what happens...

there's a table showing percentage of people already in Canada, who got ITA. I think it was something like 71%. That should give you an idea ;)

hey sorry dude not sure what happened to my reply. so I meant to say, don't loose your motivation. :) I am in the same boat (388 points including lmia). I am discussing with my future employer to hire me under temp work permit. What does it mean to me and a company? - First I can start...

hey dude don't loose

@bestofluck you quoted the sentence, but maybe you should pay attention to the first few words: Initial expectations are that rounds of invitations will occur regularly throughout the year with approximately 15 to 25 taking place overall. This doesn't mean max is 25 but as you said we are free...

no offence taken dude. After all we are all speculating here, but I think your calculations are bit off. Why you say there would need to be over 16k invitations in a single round? In 400-449 range there's about 13k candidates, but you are looking only at this number, which will be cleared within...

I just googled that phrase dude and nothing valid was returned from an official websites. Please share a link to that info ( split it with whitespaces), otherwise this statement is not accurate.

"IRCC makes only 22-25 draws per year and so there can be max. one more draw" please share link to that info. Thanks!

I bet there will be one more this year.

take a look at the distribution of core points in cic website (table: Express Entry Active Candidates and Invitations Issued as of January 3rd, 2016 by “Core” CRS scores) [sorry can't post links here] A lot of applicants core points are between 200-350 range. As I said I don't want to do any...

Based on 2015 report bit over 46% of invitations were sent to candidates with lmia job offer. Based on the change that will be introduced those candidates will fall below current minimum. Do you guys really think the minimum score won't drop? Take a look at the distribution of points in...

my bad it's over 46% according to cicnews: "IRCC’s year-end Express Entry report for 2015, released earlier this year, showed that of the 31,063 ITAs issued last year, 14,465 (46.6%) of those were issued to candidates who had a job offer supported by a LMIA. "

I read somewhere that 41% of ita's are from lmia approved jobs. That means half of the people will be in the same boat as me. You mention that current min is 470+, does that mean there will be less invitations send in future?

Hi there, I'm 31, according to CRS my score minus LMIA job is 338. Once the new rules are introduced I will get extra 50 points instead of 600, added to my profile. I was really counting a lot on the extra 600 points. Since I work in IT, tracked education isn't as important as work experience...

thanks CECMay. That's exactly what I was looking for. Any other takers?

actually just checked and looks like I don't need any proof of funds. ;)

Hello Folks, I am pretty new to this forum so please excuse me if this topic was already discussed somewhere. I've got an offer of employment from a company in Toronto, and currently they'e waiting for LMIA assessment to complete. Meanwhile I am processing all outstanding items on my side...
