LMIA application processing time?

[OnOn]

My lmia timeline
Advertisement starting in March 3 week and till may 2 week.
My employer filed lmia application in June first week.
Got file number after 2 week
After that no activity yet.
Anyone can guess how much time they took for the decision.

Thank you for your sharing.

Email received by my employer after 1 month from submitting the application:

In response to your escalation to the Employer Contact Center submitted, please be advised that your application for [...] is in queue for processing by the next available officer. Please note that our program is experiencing higher-than-usual volume of applications which is resulting in a higher-than-usual processing time. We thank you for your understanding and continued patience.

Pretty standard reply I guess. Just to keep the thread posted.

Hi, i have a unique situation. Currently i am on closed WP under LMIA exempt category. Is there any way to move from LMIA-exempt category to LMO. The reason of asking this is as once you have a LMO then one gets additional 600 points for filing PR under express entry.

Hello Guys

Just a quick question - my employer has given their landline number which usually receptionist picks up, and she doesn't know anything about how to deal with Canada Services queries. My question is, would they speak to whoever picks up the phone or do they ask for owner or the concerned person?

Hello all,


I have unique situation. My employer has advertised for LMIA with wage less than my occupation median wage. Now we are at the stage of submitting application and he has agreed to pay my occupation median wage.

Is that all right, If we submit LMIA application with proper median wage now and meanwhile, repost advertisements with proper median wage? Although, our prior advertisement had little less than median?

What are your suggestion?


Thanks for help.

Thanks for help.

You need to repost the advertisement with the proper median wage and wait for at least a month. After that you can resubmit your application.
If you submit right now, they might refuse it because the advertisement didn't have the correct wage prior to the application date.

It's better to wait one more month than waste your time and money getting a negative result.

They will ask to speak to the contact that was informed in the LMIA application. They will not speak to anyone else other than this contact.
If the person in question cannot pick up the line, they will schedule a time for this call (usually by email).

The file number is just a number linked to your application. If you got a file number only, it means that your application is being processed.
In case of negative LMIA, you will get a formal letter saying that your application was refused. Sometimes it comes by email.

Can we re apply if get negative LMIA. if SC gives the cause of negative LMIA that there is no labour shortage?
