So friend had approved LMIA and applied for a closed work permit with no assistance from an agent? Does friend have access to IRCC account? Post letter.

I feel something fishy about this whole thing.

The employer is asking for money, but only after visa stamping. I tried to warn my friend taking/giving money for LMIA is illegal. The LMIA he sent, had employer info that looked totally fake (google maps showing some random street and the company website is BS). Yet he received PP request !!!!

Can you post the company name and LMIA? Does the job offer - free food, accommodations, airfare, transportation etc. That would be fake. Where is the email address of PP request?

I am trying to get the email address/ website he got this info from. About the LMIA, he received one and when checked it had some info mismatch, and then he received another updated one and since then I have been warning this is all wrong. No, the LMIA doesn't promise food and accommodation. I will try to copy the info from PDF and post it here. Meanwhile here is the employer info

Employer info on the 1st one

2709762 Ontario Inc.
112 Main street
L7G 3E4

Employer info on the 2nd one is

2635163 Ontario Inc
120 Rutherford Rd S
Brampton, Ontario
L6W 3J5

If trying to count 50 points, you need an approved LMIA exemption and then apply for a closed work permit. Then you work in canada for a year to claim the points.

This person is not in Canada, he is trying to get in here. And no idea what his future intentions are. I don't think he is "counting" on any points. He is a friend of a friend and have been trying my best to warn them. But I guess people somehow want to land in Canada and are least worried about the process.I highly doubt there is money involved.
