I am in the process of applying for LMIA. I am under PGWP and my employer is helping me for PR and i was about to apply for this LMIA next week. But now after seeing this reduction in points from 600 to 50 i do not know what should i really do.

My Post graduate work permit expires on July 29 th 2017.

I got something on my mind. I don know how good that works. I am married and i want my spouse to come here asap. Can i apply for LMIA that expires after 2 years? If i get work permit through LMIA for 2 years can i apply for SOWP - Spouse open work permit for my husband to come here?

My NOC Code is 2283 B.

Is this a good idea or is there any work around??

Please help me. AM totally pissed with these changes made by the government. :( :( :( :(

What's your points score without an lmia?

This is eating up my brain :'(

Why is it eating up your brain? Do you think that IRCC didn't consider that employers would have wasted time getting an lmia for workers that they can't use? The points will drop, but now you don't get an instant free pass. Hang tight, it'll happen.
 
NO MORE INSTANT PASS!! now it is time we the skill workers with high human capital score get out chance!!!i
it is fair. keep them coming baby!! :P :P
 
Changes to Express Entry, which will take effect on November 19, are part of a number of improvements the Government is making on a continual basis to bring changes for a more fair and responsive immigration system that will address emerging needs and ensure long-term economic growth for the middle class.

there are more changes on the way??? ::) ::)

Political speak. Calm down. Check back around next year's quota.
 
Now they are giving 50 points to french work permits as well so now i think they have done with the promise to french people.
 
Now what happens for the people who are applying LMIA for just supporting a PR??

They have to get other skills to back it up. That's the point of the change.

Other improvements would not be the changes to express entry, I guess, such as some PNPs
