no , Company has an unnamed pre-approved LMIA. They have applied and waiting to get approved ( positive pre-approved LMIA Cook position ) . Just want to know how long it takes inside Canada. I have been waiting 3 weeks already .

Don’t know what you mean by pre-approved LMIA, so have they applied and been approve or waiting for approval. So you are asking about LMIA approval? Attached is the link for the average times for LMIA. It is an average so some will take longer.

Once with LMIA, you can apply for a closed work permit which can take 4-5 months.

Yes , I need Pre-Approved LMIA approval, I do not need a work permit now. I have PGWP still valid .
Never heard the term pre-approved LMIA. The employer has applied and is waiting for approval. Link provided above. Did they pay the $1k or is this just for your PR application.
