Applied for LMIA in last year August, but no update until now. The consultant said when they follow up the service Canada, they said the file is under processing. Why it is taking too long, all the other applications applied the same month as me are already got the phone call.

In which province did you applied? I am also in same situation since August 2018. Did your LMIA fee deducted?

They will mostly mail on your registered Email within 12-15 days but don’t worry it can be delayed due to further investigation or pending workload, did they ask for any additional documents?

G'day hopefuls,

My LMIA timeline so far:

Dual intent submitted by fax Friday 5 Apr 19, hardcopy by registered post arrived 8 Apr 19. (St John)
NOC 2271, demand occupation for BC, FSW outland.

Fee deduction and file number unknown at this stage.

Employer received call from Service Canada on 24 Apr 19.

One hour call focused mainly on differences in job requirements between Jobbank ads and other ads, as well as other "concerns". The line agent said she was going to discuss with her supervisor and he/she would call again tomorrow. Over all said it was "unlikely". Bugger....

I'll update when the final call is made, but it does seem that 10 day service for express entry PR LMIAs is being honoured for those in that stream.

Hopefully the BC PNP that I also have going gets less flak.

Cheers.
What were the other concerns ?
