Lmia pathway to work permit

[Cindyyyyy]

I am looking forward for your help.

Persons wishing to obtain or extend a work permit in Canada must satisfy an Officer that they:
• have complied with all conditions imposed on their entry;
• will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay;
• are not in a category of persons inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act; and

Based on careful review of the information and documentation supporting your application, I am
not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations.

What is the LMIA type and NOC? What did you show that you are the only person who can do the job?

The LMIA stream is permanent resident under my name.
NOC: Chef- 62200

I have a consultant who processed this papers, I don't know what documents he provided. He just ask me my resume, bank statements, passport, photograph, study and work permit. That's all he ask from me. Is there any documents I can provide to have a strong application. I am really in need of helps right now because my study and work permit will be expired on July 31,2024

That looks fishy to me.. what job did you apply for? Which business?

 

[Cindyyyyy]

I am working in the restaurant as a line cook. I have been working in that restaurant for 2 years now and the owners are eagerly want me to to work with them I got promoted on my first year of working as a sous chef.

What education did you hold to call yourself a sous chef ? Or apply for one ?
Typically to go from working the line to sous chef takes years, not a year

And a chef takes years plus education

So you are working for them now and they paid $1k and file a LMIA? What do you mean by - The LMIA stream is permanent resident under my name? What education did you show? Red Seal?

 

[Cindyyyyy]

I graduated in the Philippines in Hotel and Restaurant Management and I am almost done with my study here in Canada in Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management Coop. I have multiple work experience in the Philippines as a line cook and have done my internship in the US as a line cook as well.

 

[Copingwithlife]

Adding the term chef & sous chef is used extremely liberally . I worked as a line cook for three - four years . Person I was working with was doing his apprenticeship to become a sous chef aka doing his hours . Then testing . He worked under the Chef who had his red seal.
As a line cook, my education to get my diploma was three years.

 

[Cindyyyyy]

Yes. I am actually working with them since I arrive here in Canada. They applied the LMIA only for me. I graduated in the Philippines in Hotel and Restaurant Management and I am almost done with my study here in Canada in Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management Coop. I have multiple work experience in the Philippines as a line cook and have done my internship in the US as a line cook as well.

So your education is not in culinary arts but in hospitality management so not relevant. You should get your Red Seal license. Career advancement to sous chef seems too fast without education or red seal. Did employer pay for the LMIA? Why not PGWP?

yes, they pay for it. Our school don't have pgwp

 

[Naturgrl]

yes, they pay for it. Our school don't have pgwp

So you need to meet the requirements as posted above for the NOC. Most important is your Red Seal.

Getting front of the house education is FAR different that getting an education focused on the kitchen .

It’s two different worlds
