Hi Guys

My work permit expired august 9th and i was given 90 days to leave the country or apply for restoration

Employer started the LMIA process on 22nd August and we will file for it by 23rd September

I have a few questions:

1. My NOC code is 2175 (web developer) the median wage in ontario is $27/hr and my employer is getting an LMIA for $30/hr so it is higher than the median. Any idea how long is it taking these days to get it in Ontario.

2. I am told by the lawyer that the employer does not need to conduct interview with people who are not Canadian resident. She said that if someone responding to the advertisement is not a resident then we dont need to conduct the interview and same goes for people with only work permits. Is it true?

3. My employer has conducted 30 interviews and couldn't find the right fit and in the explanation of rejection for candidates he has mentioned that some of the candidates have less than 6 months left on their work permit so he cant hire them. Will this stand as an argument?

4. Since I am not on a work permit. Do i need to give IELTS or anything ? or an i good ?
