what's the proper procedure for the application of LMO? and is it true that we, the applicant, need to send money in order to process LMO?

thanks...

No, the employer files for LMO. The employer does not pay when s/he applies for one.

weee...thanks for the response :)

another thing, they also asked me to send $2000.00 before they start the processing...actually what they said, i need to send money coz it's for agency fee...true? for that much? and after sending the money there'll be no cost at all!! but what's my assurance that they're processing my papers?

what happens after the service canada gave the employer positive lmo? Do I apply as a Skilled Worker and pay for the processing fees and right of residency?

What are you applying for? Are you applying to immigrate as a skilled worker? Are you trying to come to Canada as a temporary foreign worker, skilled category? You pay the fees to CIC (follow what are on the guides) You do not pay the employer.

Sorry I did not see this post :( Anyway, depends on whether you applied with an agency. Make sure that it is a legitimate agency. Does the agency have a representative/liaison office in your place? Do they issue receipts? What about word of mouth by people you can verify. If you are dealing with them through emails be wary. There are a lot of scammers.

What job are you applying for and where is the available job? Where are you applying from? Before an employer could file for an LMO , s/he must advertise the position in the national job bank and another major website/daily for 14 days. LMO application is 4 to 6 weeks.
