1. You will have to ask your employer to know

2. No all jobs posted on jobbank.ca does not have LMIA

3. Yes your employer will have to apply for LMIA first and that takes 4 to 6 months processing including the advertising to show that no Canadian/PR residents are available to do the job and they will have to pay $1000 processing fee as well.


Your job offer will be difficult to get a approved LMIA because its a low skilled position and practically anyone can do the job.

If my employer already had LMIA (i assume because my co-worker got the LMIA from the employer before)

What should I need to do if i also want to get LMIA from them? do they need to go over everything again? thanks

Yes - they need to do everything again - including the advertising.
