Hi guys,please help

I'm currently working under my post-grad work permit (which is going to expire soon) for almost a year under the NOC B. My employer agreed to support me with an LMIA and we did post for 4 weeks on job bank and other resources. My plan is to submit paper-based LMIA application before my work permit expires and apply for a work permit extension right after I receive an LMIA conf.#. But I don't want to lose my job and looking into other options.I'm talking to lawyers, but they only want money and no guarantees my case will win. Other option that I have is to apply for a significant benefit work permit which most likely be rejected, but at least I can keep working.

1.Did any of you (who received postive LMIA) applied by yourself, without a lawyer?
2. For how long can you legally work in Canada if you've applied for the work permit extension before you get a positive LMIA? (2 months strict or during the whole LMIA application review)

Hello All,

Today we received letter form Service Canada for LMIA audit. We received our LMIA in the month of January 2017 and SC has requested few documents from us like Pay stubs, Business related documents, Roles and responsibilities letter. Has anyone here faced this kind of audit before. Please share your inputs.
