Hi,
anybody got the LMO for BC?
My application was submitted in July 29th.

8 weeks, still no news.

The immigration Consultant and my employer told me to wait for 20+ weeks.
Is that normal?
Thanks.

Hi,
My employer submitted LMO application on July 9th from Vancouver, and today my employer received phone call from HRSDC and it is approval:) I heard the process of LMO is taking much longer than before nowadays.

@1998a, my LMO was applied on 29 July in Toronto. Same date as you. No response yet.

My employer told me that it could take between 8 to 12 weeks. 20 weeks seems excessive and I don't think is factual.

If they've confirmed receipt of application, all you can do is wait. I guess another 3 to 4 weeks, you'll be through.

All the best

LMO applied: 29 July 13
LMO approved: 11 Oct 13.
Applied in Ontario.

My suggestion, given current processing times, forget about receiving your outcome for atleast 11 to 12 weeks. Expectation of LMO approval earlier than this timeline only led to disappointment for me.
