I know that you're just trying to help. What I was saying is that we were hosed by whoever gave us this June 1 prediction, seeing that it's now June 3 and the moratorium is still ongoing. We got bad info from whoever made that prediction.

It won't be lifted soon because the entire House of Commons is running overtime for the next 3 weeks:

We have no choice but to wait another 3 weeks before we see any further progress with Kenney's effort to lift the moratorium. Kenney and the other Cabinet MPs simply don't have the time right now. Waiting around is going to totally suck, especially for those of us who have grown impatient by the combined time involved in finding work, getting an LMO, applying for visas, and waiting out the 5 weeks that has elapsed since the beginning of the moratorium. Waiting will suck, but we'll just have to wait some more. I wish there was better news on the horizon but it doesn't seem like there is.

So Kenney was aiming to have something in place by early June, eh? We were totally hosed by that early June prediction and Kenney's, "few weeks, not months" prediction. I really don't know what to believe now. Just a few days (not weeks) ago, they said that changes will be ready in a few weeks. So if I understand correctly, the moratorium is always just a few weeks away from being lifted, no matter how much time has passed already.

With this moratorium having lasted 6 weeks already, I can now confidently say that Kenney and his associates are dragging their feet on the issue of lifting this moratorium. Not only that, but they're constantly lying to us by giving us false expectations for the date when they'll lift the moratorium. I for one, have had enough of their lies, foot-dragging and their complete disregard for the people on whom they unleashed all this turmoil by imposing this moratorium.

The fact of the matter is that Kenney doesn't give a flying toss about restaurant TFWs. He threw us all under the bus for political reasons. He'll probably never lift this moratorium.

moretorium will be lifted.God works in a mysterious way.

Maybe the moratorium will be lifted before the 22nd of the month. The key word is, "maybe". I find it hard to trust what anyone says. On May 22, a CPC member of Parliament stated that they're looking at having a solution within the next month. If that's true, it would mean we're less than 12 days away from the end of the ban.

The latest news is that Kenney will announce his reforms "in the near future" with next Friday being the earliest possible date. Therefore we shouldn't expect anything during the next 7 days. Hopefully, they lift it by the end of this month so that life can finally stop sucking so hard for those of us who are caught up in the turmoil caused by this moratorium.

I'm just hoping that after the damn thing opens up again, we'll have a good chance in positive LMOs, as time is quite tight after all this delay

Does anyone know what happens with the unused LMO's that have been issued to employers before the moratorium? I understand they were suspended, but will they be valid again after the moratorium has been lifted?

Indeed.

Well, my LMO is a pre-approved, unnamed LMO. As far as I know, people whose LMOs weren't yet approved got refunded weeks ago. However, those who have unused LMOs haven't been refunded. This might be an indicator that these LMOs will be valid again when the moratorium is over. ESDC has also stated that applications for work permits in the food service sector (using existing pre-moratorium LMOs) will resume once the moratorium is over. Therefore, I think it's highly likely that employers will be able to add names to their existing LMOs and use them for work permits as soon as the suspension is lifted. Giving refunds for LMOs that were approved months ago would probably be too cumbersome and time-consuming for Service Canada.
