Hi,

My employer is getting an interview call tomorrow, and I have a silly question bothering me. What's the purpose of making an interview call to the employer? Will the interview call determine the result of the application?

Can anyone ease my tension?Thank you in advance.

Hi Situ
When did you apply for LMIA. My employer applied in Jan 2017 and still waiting.
I reapplied the application on Mar 06/07, got replied on Mar 16 for more documents, emailed back to the officer on Mar 20th along with the specific date for interview call.

So is the Toronto Processing center overloaded right now? I'm approaching the 12 week mark now with my LMIA application. :(

Jobs exempt from needing an LMIA

There are only two reasons the employer making you the offer does not need to get a new LMIA:

if you are already working for them with a work permit based on that LMIA
if you work in a job that does not need an LMIA.

LMIA has been issued by the federal government of Canada. So the officer must issue the WP. Explain your situation clearly.
