Hi,

I am a dependent of my spouse who is a student. I have a workpermit based on his study permit. I am right now working in a company as a software engineer. Now, I think my company should be alright with sponsoring my LMO as I need LMO because my spouse needs to give up his studies due to some situation. But I have read on the CIC that the employer needs to file for a LMO before company hires the worker while I am already working in the company because of my spouse based work permit. Due you guys think that my company still should be able to file for LMO no matter what I am already working in the company. We can definately say that my workpermit will expire as soon as my spouse will give up his studies but it still wont be applying before hiring though. Experts please give us guidance! Thank you for your help and support!
 
Yes - your company can still file an LMO for you.

Before they file the LMO, they must first advertise your job for at least a month to prove they were unable to hire a Canadian for the role.
