Unfortunately there is no 100% chance, as they'll also check if the requirements on the LMIA match the applicant's skills, employment history etc. In any case, hope you get a positive one!

Thanks Beholder69! I guess the long wait still not over even if you got positive LMIA. :'(
To all those who got positive LMIA, hope we got our work permit soon, the battle still not over..

To all those waiting LMIA, hope you get your positive LMIA then work permit soon. ;D

Anyone who applied for LMIA in November 2014?

My employer applied in Nov 1st week and fees charged in 2 days and we got file number on Nov 12th 2014 but still no response from SC.
I have applied for NOC code A 2147 as a Network Engineer in Ontario with high wage transition plan.

Sit tight hun! It's still early days yet. Took almost 12 weeks after our file number and payment before we got our result

Thanks for your reply. Ya mine is 10th week going on.
My employer kept $45/hr much higher than median wage for NOC 2147.

Also I have already filled for my PR in Dec 2014. But I need this badly as my work permit got expired.

If you filed your PR application and CIC federal confirmed/recieved it.. you just have to apply for open work permit.. I guess..

Thank you for your reply. Actually the thing is I completed my 1 year experience on my 1 year post graduation work permit and I just applied for my PR on Dec 29th 2014 as I was still waiting for my LMIA. And my work permit already got expired in Oct end 2014. So right now I am on visitor status. Before my plan was to get LMIA and then apply for express entry as they have offered me a permanent job in LMIA. But as I was pretty sure it will take time so I applied for my PR in Dec last week before express entry launch but still waiting for PR AOR as it takes time. So now I am hoping to get this soon as my visitor visa is ending soon in 3 weeks and I have already applied for visitor status extension.

Any other way to stay here?

No one can tell what are your chances, but be prepared that LMIA is a long process: your employer has to advertise position for 1 month to prove that there're no canadians for it, then he can apply for LMIA and has to pay $1000 fee. It may take 4-6 months without advertising period to obtain an LMIA.
