So I understand that in order to start a LMIA application the employer has to activiately advertise the position for certain period of time.

If I'm already working for the employer, and I need a LMIA based work permit as my PGWP is expiring (couple of months). During the advertising period and LMIA application, if there's a applicant (canadian citizen or PR) for the position is somewhat qualified, does the employer HAVE TO replace me with the said applicant, and thus terminate the LMIA application for me?

Thank you very much
