My work permit says LMIA or Exempt No A0223..
Does anyone know if that is my LMIA or if I am exempt? If not, any idea how I can find out. it was in 2017 and I simply can't remember as it was done by an immigration lawyer that is not available anymore.

Axxxxx is the offer of employment number obtained in the employer portal of IRCC. If you get that, it means your work permit is LMIA exempt — are you an intra company transferred? Or your wp is covered under NAFTA?

What the case type mentioned on your wp?
Wow, thanks a lot for the quick reply, I am intra company transferred. The case type is 20.

I had a few work permits before, how can I understand from the work permit if it was LMIA exempt or not?
If it's an ICT then it's LMIA exempt.
