LMIA application processing time?

[puru87]

Sorry to hear that puru87. What noc was your application and what were the reason of rejected


Chef 6321
refusal reasons:
1) you have not demonstrated sufficient efforts to hire Canadians in the occupation
2) there is no indication that a labour shortage exists
3) you didn't sufficiently demonstrate that there is a reasonable employment needed for this job in your business

Ridiculous, hope this time you will fulfill they're expectation, finger crossed for all of us waiting.

Funbox, hope we'll meet in Alberta soon! Let's look at the bright side: with all the delays in LMIA and the additional weeks for WP, we'll skip this first winter! But now, seriously, SC Canada should be more continuous when dealing with the applications, I mean, it's ok (sort of) if they take time to start the process, but I think that once started, the process should be more straight forward.

Hopefully you do miss winter here! Haha

It can be cold and snowing into late May up here

Hi everyone I am new here and I have some questions?

My perspective employer applied for LMIA (high-wage position) on 16 November, 2015, and has since had two phone conversations (to the employer they did not seem like interviews; i.e. he did not receive a formal invitation for an interview) with an ESDC officer. The officer expressed some doubt whether the offered wage is enough for the position for which the LMIA is being sought. Everything else appears to check out.

Are the two phone conversations usual? Do they increase or decrease my chances? Will the employer get a formal invitation to an interview? Could this one small problem with the wage which could be only slightly below the prevailing wage for this type of position be enough to sway the officer to issue negative LMIA?


MINE GOT REJECTED AFTER THEY INTERVIEW COUPLE OF TIME WITH MY EMPLOYER, I BELIEVE IF THEY'VE ANY DOUBT THEY WILL INTERVIEW FOR COUPLE OF TIME. I'M APPLYING LMIA AGAIN AND IT'S ON ADVERTISING PROCESS! GOOD LUCK MATE!

Thank you AlanKju and puru87 for your inputs. I hope you eventually get your positive LMIA'a

Yeah, but as I said, it would be the FIRST winter. There'll be a lifetime to enjoy all the muddy snow at its best and wearing multiple layers of clothes! haha Can't wait for it!

It's a wonderful place indeed ;D Hopefully you get here soon!

 

[AlanKju]

thanks for the answers!
The position is still open and the company is trying to contact for updates since may, but everything that they got is messages saying that the application is still in process. I'll talk with the company tomorrow and we will see what we can do about it.

I'll keep you guys updated about what will happen!

Hello Zarf, any news form your side?

LMIA applications have taking around 15-20 weeks (up to 4 months) for processing (this is the average I've seen here from other people).
The wage needs to meet the prevailing wage, which can be found on Job Bank. The Job Bank ad is the most important one and has to remain advertised until the LMIA decision is made. It also needs to clearly offer a wage that meets the prevailing wage.

I wish you good luck.

Congratulations mutter 83

Was your Lmia 10 days process applications or was it regular 12-16 week process Lmia?

If you read their timeline, it took less than a month from start to finish.

10 days process application

How did they make sure you were put through ten day processing? My boyfriend's application was eligible but his work I don't know...it's been two weeks since they had to RESEND his application after waiting like 3 months and then SC saying they never received anything
