Thanks.
@fastfood - I am not sure if my name has to be added to LMIA. Lawyer has sent some forms to be filled up for work permit, but did not mention anything about name getting added to LMIA. Can others help - is this name adding to LMIA mandatory?

@anarsoul - Sorry, am not aware of when file number was received. But when I had called lawyer 2nd week of november, she had mentioned there has been no communication from SC yet. So, I am guessing file number and approval - all happened in the last 2-3 weeks or so.

Congratulations @pereseda and @ fswaspirant!

Could you guys share which media channels were used by the company/lawyer?

Did they manage to include the business address in the JobBank ad?

My lawyer's secretary says there's no way to include the address in the JobBank ad because it goes by steps, and she says there's no step where you can input the address. I'm afraid this might be a refusal point.

And does anyone know if the other 2 ads have to be running after the 30 days?

Thanks

There must be a way to input the address because I've seen ads on JobBank with it. The JobBank ad is the only one required to be run for the entirety of the process as far as I know.

My employer only has one add going at the moment. Just job bank. I am hoping to hear from them within a week or so regarding my LMIA result. I will update you guys once I hear from them.

Hi,

I got response from Service Canada and the LMIA is refused. The reason they gave is the salary offered (60k) to be less than what is paid to Canadians. The median wage is 63k but the employer only offered me 60k for this position. The employer said they would appeal for revision of judgement but might not hike the salary.

NOC code: 2171 (Quebec Province)
wage: 33$/hour
23rd September: LMIA application filed
28th September: Amount Charged and file number received

Do you guys have any suggestions on this?

Sad to hear about your refusal. My salary is not even half. I dont know what is gonna hapen to my LMIA..

HRSDC dont want employer to pay TFW higher nor they want employers to pay lower wages compare to Canadians. Dont really know what they want ..They refuse LMIA both ways..
