Haven't you continue the advertisement?
They have maintained the job bank ad throughout the process but Esdc is requiring all employers to repost for 2 additional weeks on the 3 required sites since so many Canadians are unemployed currently

My employer applied for LMIA back at the end of February. Payment was taken at the end of March and file number was given. Last week, ESDC contacted employer to make sure they still wanted to proceed and then they asked them to advertise again for 2 weeks. I’m hoping it won’t take too much longer to get an interview. Anyone else in the same position?
I'm in same situation we applied lmia on feb last 3 weeks ago we got mail from service Canada to weather we wanna continue or not application process ,since then nothing heard from them, my consultant says they are not responding any lmia unless its essential services,
Its very strange people need extension don't know wts gonna happen, why don't ircc give six months extension without lmia

Oh really? My attorney said they are still processing LMIAs but are prioritizing essential services. It seems like there are so many different answers. It’s frustrating. Very difficult to make any plans when you have no idea when you’ll be able to move

My employer applied in March and fee was taken after one month. We got the file number but nothing else after that.
My work permit expiring soon.
It quite stressful situation.
