LMIA application processing time?

[johnny123]

They emailed my employer. There is no other option than re applying. Also have to keep express entry in mind and go ahead than getting disappointed with this *censored word*

Best of luck buddy. Keep the spirit positive.

Last couple of days of the week. Hope I hear something positive before this week is through. Not only am I anxious, I'm also nervous. My employer usually calls every Friday for an update but all we've ever been told is that its in process.

SC asked my employer for a transition plan. Now employer and lawyers discuss what to put in it. Looks like I won't get LMIA by the end of this year

Well with this request at least it seems likely you will get a positive LMIA. From what I understand a transition plan is really simple. They just need to say they are gonna help you to get PR and put in some time frames. Someone who has actually had one done may be able share some tips.

I hope so, but this process takes sooo long. I'm not sure if lawyers will accept any help/tips from my side (especially with a reference to a forum), and anyway I expect them to be experienced in that field.

Take it in a positive way. If the result is positive you will have a jubilant start to the new year, if no you wouldn't wanna spoil your Christmas by getting it now. Take it as it comes . Good luck

Excellent advise. Will apply it to my own situation.

There are plenty of people who used lawyers and they mess stuff up. I've seen at least one such instance in this forum. If I've learned anything about SC is the game is always changing. New forms, too low wage, too high wage blah blah. Sometimes it seems a SC agent literally held the hand of the employer and gave them advice and told them what exactly to do and other times it seems you get refused for leaving a full stop off the end of your sentence. As far as I can see there are no experts in this game. Anyways, good luck. I hope it works out for all of us but refusals seem a lot more common than approvals these days.

Well, I don't have any influence on employer, and it was their choise to hire a lawyer.

They mess up. I argued with mine that the business address MUST to be on the JobBank ad, and he said I was reading it wrong. Now 27 weeks and counting.

First LMO was approved in 8 weeks. He wanted to go for a TWP when CIC had reasons to reject it, and didn't suggest that I go for FSTP. I started reading about it after I got my LMO and only then I found out that I needed to take the IELTS. Earliest date available at the time was 2 months ahead, and then another 4 weeks for the results. By the time I received it my LMO expired.

So read as much as you can, on CIC's/ESDC website and the biggest canadian immigration forum, canadavisa!
