Hey guys.
Firstly thanks for creating such an awesome resource for people such as myself...I have read through the posts and just want some clarification.
I am in real trouble I think. My current 2 year working holiday visa expires November 19th 2010. I am from New Zealand. I worked at an company doing all manner of IT tasks for 15 months. Recently I have moved to a new company doing the same sort of thing. My NOC code is : NOC 2281-B.
They are trying to get me PR status and I guess the first step to this is an LMO They have just finished 1.5 months of advertising the job and 2 weeks ago submitted the application or whatever that you do at the end of the advertising period saying they want to hire me because no one else was suitable.
I know you guys don't make the decisions but are LMOs likely to be denied... I mean it seems to me HR have followed the process and I am in a NOC code that is sposorable as a skilled immigrant.
Should I be applying for my "work permit" now, should I wait so I can get this "implied status" thing that I have read about, or do I need to relax and wait until the LMO response comes back.
It is causing me some headache obviously as I just don't know what is happening and whether I will be here in Canada on November 20th. Any help would be massively appreciated as at the moment I feel like my life is a little "out of my own hands" and I really have no idea what is going on, which is what frustrates me the most.
Thanks, John.
