I HAVE APPLIED ON NOC 2147 COMPUTER ENGINEERS (EXCEPT SOFTWARE ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS)
BUT THE PREVAILING WAGE IS 38.46 $ AND WHAT THE COMPANY ADVERTISED AND OFFERING ME IS 33.50 $ WILL THIS WAGE DIFFERENCE WILL BE A PROBLEM AND CAUSING ANY DELAY FOR LMIA PROCESSING

KINDLY ADVISE

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news, but if the wage offered is below median wage for your area the application most probably won't go through

Thanks again Jack! Just curious, ur salary seems to me on 10 days speedy service from SC, still why it took those many days?

They aren't offering 10 days service now. On this forum were lots of people who already said, with confirmation number they also giving a letter that states "Due to high volume of applications 10 days service are not longer provided".. something like that.

My employer also called them twice trying to speed up the process.

Hi All,

Does anybody in this forum has got approval for LMIA even if the prevailing wage is not met.

Kindly advise
Thanks

Hi all,

I am looking for an employer who can provide LMIA to my cousin. Are there any employers who are still hiring foreign workers outside Canada? Looks like they won't give LMIA for food service & hotel workers anymore? Is this right?
