The way i understand it all TWF that are already in Canada can stay until the validity of their work permit. Once your work permit expires you will need the LMIA for you to extend your WP and this is the new rules will apply to all those who will apply for LMIA starting the day it was announced irregardless of whether TWF is in Canada or not. All new application for WP now will need the LMIA. And WP now will only be valid 1 year and TWF will ne allowed to stay up to 2 years. If you are still confuse i suggest to consult an immigration lawyer as they have a better interpretation of this new rules.
What about LMOs that were received but not yet processed when the moratorium was invoked? Would they be completed according to the rules in effect on the date of submission?

Here is the answer to your question :
Processing instructions
ESDC has completed their review of the Food Services Sector and has re-confirmed the majority of the suspended LMIAs. Work permit applications should be returned to the processing queue in accordance with their date of receipt. CIC officers are asked to ensure that these cases do not face any unreasonable delays now that the suspension has been lifted.
To check that the LMIA has been re-confirmed, refresh the HRSDC View Tab in GCMS:
If the LMIA suspension was lifted, the Decision and HRSDC Comments fields will show “RECONFIRM – DATE - This LMIA has been reconfirmed and may be processed as per normal procedures.” The processing of the work permit application can then continue as normal.
If ESDC has not yet completed their review of the specific LMIA, the Decision or HRSDC Comments fields will continue to show ‘Suspended’. Place the work permit application on hold for another 60 days pending further review by ESDC.
Thank you so much mylady. My employer applied lmo for me in Jan. It was for Fast food industry. The decision was pending before the moratorium was impose. I was just wondering if ESDC would still consider the previous lmo application or my employer has to apply a new application again.

If i am not mistaken when the moratorium was imposed all the pending LMO application was suspended and returned ( i am not really sure of this i think i read it somewhere about returning the LMO application and refund for the fee) What i can suggest is your employer can follow up the pending LMO application so your employer can have a clear idea if a new LMIA application is needed.
am working as a cook(12.60) in calgary, my work permit will expire in 6 months. is it mandatory for my employer to give me the median wage (24$) to me from now?. if not will my hourly wage change when i apply for extension of LIMA(lmo) after 6 months?.
No, you can still be paid a low wage. It just means that you will be classed as a low-wage job and subject to the low-wage restrictions.prasanth remesh said:

Those are not instructions to you. They are for the CIC/CBSA people.Vincentlouise said:To check that the LMIA has been re-confirmed, refresh the HRSDC View Tab in GCMS:
