is LMO required for PGWP extension

[charupujari]

I have a post graduate open work permit so for getting a job I dont need LMO, however my WP will expire in Nov and I am worried if i ll need LMO at that time for extending WP. Also, my employer used normal channel of advertising like corportae website would it be difficult to get a positive LMO for us ?

1. The employer would have to get an LMO and would have to advertise for 2 weeks on the job bank. As well would have to demonstrate that CCs/PRs that applied for the job weren't qualified.

PMM, for the PGWP extension, you need an LMO but the employer need not show recruitment/advertisement efforts.

Read this!!!

"In cases where the employer is making a permanent job offer to employees who have completed the PGWPP for employment in a skilled occupation (within National Occupational Classification 0, A and B codes only), the employer will not be required to demonstrate recruitment efforts. It is recommended that the employer submit the application for an LMO approximately four months before the expiry of the Post-Graduation Work Permit."

Hi there...!!!

Thank you for the above information.

My question - If the employee does not get offered a permanent job offer but instead a temporary job offer (for example: 1 year), what would be the process then?
