Application process for employers who hire a third-party representative for the submission of an LMO application?

While hiring steps vary, they generally follow this pattern:

Step 1:
An employer fills out and signs the Appointment of Representative Form - PDF (236 KB, 1 page), authorizing the third-party to represent the employer through the application process with HRSDC/Service Canada.

Step 2:
The third-party submits an application to HRSDC/Service Canada (on behalf of the employer) for an LMO and may be required to submit an employer-employee contract.

Step 3:
A TFWP officer assesses the application based on program criteria and develops an LMO.

Step 4:
The officer provides a written response (confirmation letter) to the employer and the third-party.

Step 5:
The employer informs the foreign worker and, if the LMO is confirmed, forwards a copy of the confirmation letter.
Step 6:
The foreign worker applies to CIC for a work permit and fills out the Application for a Québec Acceptance Certificate for Temporary Work form. The employer (or his third-party representative) is allowed to represent the worker in dealing with the Ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC) if the worker signs the last section of the form entitled Optional authorization to employer. For more information visit MICC (in French only).

If you dont wanna ask LMO from your employer...call the HRSDC office explain them the situation and get a copy directly from them to yourself......you dont even have to explain any situation just ask for a copy....
Its sad your employer is doing this to you...
Best of luck... Know your Rights

Changing employers

All temporary foreign workers are allowed to change employers, and you will not be penalized or deported for looking for another place to work. The National Job Bank or Working in Canada websites can help you search for a new job. For more information, visit the websites listed at the end of this pamphlet.

In many cases, your new employer must have permission to hire you as a temporary foreign worker. To do so, the employer may first have to apply for what is known as a labour market opinion, or LMO, from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)/Service Canada. If HRSDC/Service Canada issues a positive LMO to the employer, they are allowed to hire you.

Unless you have an open work permit, you will also have to apply for a new work permit. Make sure to ask your new employer for a copy of the positive LMO letter and annex. Once you receive these documents, you may then apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for a new work permit.

In some cases, you must also sign an employment contract with the new employer.
