If you have supervisor or managerial visa its recommended to have oelts before you apply work permit. Band does not matter.

Over a year for an LMIA does not sound normal and neither does the job which would expect to be able to be filled by a resident. How convincing is the employer that this is being pursued ?

I don't know either but what she said when she made a follow up with service canada was to be patient. She wanted to hire foreign worker because she was tired of re training employee every time they resign i guess.
