LMIA for open work permit applicant
- Thread starter A_Waris
- Start date
They can if eligible. Will it be approved - will not know until response. When does your permit expire?
my current work permit will expire in 2026, i am just exploring all the options for PR
im in a similar situation. My wage is above than low but less than median. What are the option for the employer. He is ready to even give me a letter stating he will offer me the median wage. Will this suffice?
So your employer has read the LMIA requirements for the job offer, and is submitting the LMIA. Since he is applying for the LMIA, EDSC may ask for proof that you are now being paid the median wage. So assume if he is giving you the letter then he has increased your salary.
Thank u for your response.
Employer said he can give the letter stating in future he will do it. Im not sure if i can proceed with this. Many agents claim that even if the current wage is less still we can apply showing more in the advertising that it meets the median wage. I m not sure how true us that?
So whatever the wage is posted on job sites recruiting for your jobs will the be in the job offer letter. The employer will prove that no one applied with your experience, education, language skills. Your employer will start paying you that wage with your approved LMIA. The employer has to sign off that the new wage will be implemented, so may have to show through payroll that that is that NOC’s salary. How much difference are we talking about?
So read the requirements as HR will know what to do. The median wage is where you live in Ontario so can be more or less.

So that means, I must not accept the offer. And wait for an offer from SK based employer.
Are they willing and even eligible to go through the JAL process? You need to ask them.
