Hello,
My employer filed for My LMO on May 29th, 2018.
He called SC on July 11th and they gave him my LMIA number and told him that they would probably call within 2 weeks for an interview.
I looked at the application yesterday and saw that The job contract was for 2 years.
I’m really confused if I’d get a positive LMO because I’ve heard they don’t issue Work permit for more than a year.
Is it true or just a rumour? If it’s true, is it possible that they would give a negative LMO?

Providing the requirements are met, officers should issue a work permit for the complete expected duration of the employment. It is in IRCC’s and the temporary worker’s interest to lengthen the periods between times when an immigration service is required. That is, officers should allow a foreign national to work, without having to submit renewal applications unnecessarily frequently, to save the employers’ and the workers’ time and money and to reduce the burden on the department’s resources.
