LMIA application processing time?

[rodrigochi89]

Hey all,

I have been reading the tread for awhile. My PGWP is gonna expire in May 2017 and I wouldn't have completed my 1 year work hours. A quick question. Which NOC would you think will get a more positive reply for a LMIA? A position as a Web Designer/ Video Editor? or A Retail Store Manager/ Assistant?

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

The more "specific/less common/ in demand" your position is, the better the chance of getting a Lmia approved. Your employer will have to show compelling proof that no canadian applicants were suitable or available to fill your position in the company.

sorry to hear that,must be extremely annoying. Which office is processing your application? Has your employer called them to request an update?

I've been waiting for 12 weeks so far. Dual Lmia - St John, NB office

Good Night All,

I have a question. If your PGWP is expiring, lets say May 2017 and I'm currently working for company A but company B has applied for an LMIA in March for me. Would I be on implied status after my PGWP expires? And if yes can I continue to work for company A until my decision is made?


Thanks in advance fro any answers...

Please can you share why your application got rejected. Thank you

they said you can find a canadian chef in here and teach them to cooking turkish foods. but if they cant learn or somethings you can again apply. its really stupid reason for rejected

Also right now I have a pgwp which is expiring in July 2017. I want to apply for work permit immediately and get a sowp for my spouse. Is it possible to get 2 yrs work permit ??

Congrats Sunitha! Its quick!!
if you apply online it will be quick and paper based will take 3 to 4 months. And you will have 6 months to apply for work permit, I think. Also the closed work permit will be 1 year as per the new LMIA concept, before it was 2 years with LMO. You can apply both SOWP and WP at a time to save your time. Hope you got it
