Hi!
My employer called HRSDC to follow up on my LMO because it's been 2-1/2 months now. The lady she spoke with said that 2 months is still too early. However, my employer was put on hold while the lady checked on the status. She was told that my LMO is still pending and no changes or actions yet. She was told that she can call after a week or two to check or just wait since HRSDC will surely call her if there's already a decision :'(.
A friend of mine got her positive LMO only after 2 weeks - LMO filed in Calgary while my other friend got hers after a month - LMO filed in Toronto, Ontario. I wonder how they assess LMO applications. Could the strike somehow has an effect in the release of LMOs since visa offices are on strike and this leaves them with very limited workforce?
