LMIA exempted number for OWP under Startup

[muddin]

I have appiled Startup PR application and its under process. I also applied Open Work Permit. 2 months back, medical also done. Recently IRCC sent application to submit LMIA exempted number and compliance fee for OWP. Came to know, A77 is right code for OWP exempted.

Need to get confirmation whether its right code and using A77, will Open Work Permit works? Moreover, my lawyer saying there shouldnt require LMIA exempted number under OWP. They advised to raise webform to exclude the number, I raised also, but didnt get any feedback from IRCC and it’s already few months past. I am afraid whether they cancel the OWP app. Would you pls clarify on this.

Good question — for Open Work Permits (OWP) under the Startup Visa program, LMIA exemption codes usually fall under C11, since it supports significant benefit to Canada, especially in terms of innovation and job creation. Always best to double-check with IRCC or an immigration consultant to make sure you’re using the right code.


Also, if anyone’s looking to personalize their online presence, I came across this Stylish Names Maker — pretty neat for customizing usernames or adding a creative touch to social profiles.


Hope this helps, and best of luck to everyone navigating the startup route!
