    LMIA processing time for Global skill strategy -insanely long processing times as regular LMIA

    I can’t answer your question. However, I would advise you to speak to your employer and ask them to reach out to ESDC asking for an update. This is not normal.

    Experience with work permit at POE

    Wow, didn't know that. Would it be possible for you to put me in contact with this friend of yours? Is he a member of this forum too?

    Experience with work permit at POE

    But you can't do this at the airport, right? Just arrive by plane and expect they'll give you the permit at the immigration procedure?

    Experience with work permit at POE

    Hey man, great to hear that! Did your application fall under the Global Talent Stream Program? My employer and I fit the requirements of this program and we're waiting for our positive LMIA (three weeks since we've applied). After that, I need to get my work permit, but I've heard that it's...

    self employed business owner

    Thanks man! On your client reference letters, was it written that 1) you (as an individual) provided services to the client, 2) you (as a representative/owner/director/whatever) of company X provided them services, or 3) your company X provided them services? I think it's a must to include my...

    self employed business owner

    I am one of the owners of the business. Both me and my partner work full-time in our roles -- me as a web developer, he as a graphic designer. We as a company provide services to other companies. We both operate the business (manage it), but on our articles of incorporation it says that he is...

    self employed business owner

    Hey man, Thanks a lot for your previous help. I was able to study the CIC website a lot more and learn from it. But I've been listening from multiple sources lately (including IRCC licensed consultants) that if you are a shareholder of an incorporated business (my situation), you are not...

    Express Entry/CEC - experience via incorporaton

    Hey JoacRy! Can you share were you learned this from? I've been reading the CIC website and they make it very ambiguous whether the shareholder of a corporation is or isn't an employee. Here I'm thinking about the supporting documents, not the eligibility (as I am applying under FSW, not CEC)...

    Incorporation papers

    Hey Jes, On what grounds do you claim that shareholders of a corporation are self-employed? I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm asking because I honestly haven't found a definite answer to this. The document you shared to support your argument does not say shareholders of a corporation are...

    Confused regarding self emplyment

    Hey Ezgi84, have you received PR status? From my understanding you were also a shareholder from a corporation and presented documents supporting your claim that you were an employee of your own company, correct? Can you share which documents you submitted? I am in the same situation and am...

    Self-employment reference letter from clients

    Hey Ignacio, I am in the same situation. I am a business owner who owns 50% of the shares of my business. Have you found out how the letter needs to be written?

    self employed business owner

    Ok, then I might do the same! I also have a business partner who can attest in a letter that I work 50 hours/week (I actually work more, but our "business hours" are from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.). Thinking about it, I can also attach a letter from the other company we share our office with...

    self employed business owner

    Thanks a lot! About the hours, my concern is that I do not set an amount of work hours per week with clients, but rather an amount of hours per project/contract. For example: Contract 1: 120 hours from March to May Contract 2: 60 hours from April to August Contract 3: 45 hours from May to June...

    self employed business owner

    Thank you so much! Couldn't you remove your personal information from the letters and share them? There are many self-employed people like me who are completely lost as to how to prove their work experience and can't afford paying for consultation... If you'd prefer not to, wouldn't it be...
