I am currently working as a Technical Support Representative at Shaw Communications and my LMO had recently been rejected by Service Canada on the basis of the wages offered. My position is a part-time, permanent role with $17.25/hr but I get atleast 40 hrs/week and some overtime.

This is what they had to say:

“The wages you are offering are not consistent with prevailing wages paid to Canadians in the requested occupation” and “Applications for Labour Market Opinions must reflect wages consistent with prevailing rates specified for the occupation in the region. The prevailing wage is applied to ensure that the hiring of the foreign worker will not place downward pressure on the wages of Canadians/Permanent Residents.”

Any ideas what should I do now? My post graduate work permit expires on March 22, 2013
 
Is your employer willing to increase your wage to meet the LMO requirements? If so, then submit a new LMO with this change.

If not, start looking for a new employer.
