Hi Ben Apolo

Are you from the Philippines? Did you submit a work permit application for a job that is exempt of LMO or a high skilled job?

I am from the Philippines. My employer is really in need if me asap. I submit my appliction online last Jan 27, 2014. With my job offer, contract from employer and approval letter from trade office alberta government. Thats good that your application is approved less than 3 months. Kindly tell me some info or idea

thanks
Chris
@jgelbolingo,

Yes, I am from the Philippines. Online Application.
I applied as a TFW and I have an LMO.
Do you have an LMO?

Your employer will apply your LMO from HRSDC.
And if it will approved your employer will send it to you.

About approval letter from trade office alberta government.
I don't have much knowledge about that.

Maybe some profession are LMO exempted.
What is you profession anyway. (NOC)

If you submitted you apps last January 27, 2014.
Maybe after 2 months you will have an update.

Just keep update.

Maybe our senior forum mates has knowledge about the letter from Alberta. (FKL, PMM, Scilla, BigBee)
My destination also Alberta.

God Bless.

Following link explains who is exempted from an LMO. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit.asp

In general if you are the principal applicant (not a dependent or a student), you have to get an LMO.

Post DOC jobs also do not require an LMO.

Also if you are already nominated for PR by a province, then you don't need an LMO.

Otherwise, it is a requirement.

I have no clue about this "approval letter from trade office alberta government". I suspect that it could be an LMO the OP is talking about.

Does this document have a number on top? Does it say "Labor Market Opinion" any where?

Hi Ben,

I am a Welder. Its an LMO exempt job under the Government of Alberta Pilot Project. Applying for TFW too, but I put others on the type of permit, not the open work permit.

I have an Approval letter from Trade Alberta Enterprise and Advance Education under The Apprenticeship and Industry Training who regulates trade jobs.

NOC code for Welder: 7265

My wife is in Canada now. My employer sent email to the embassy for request to at least expedite the process coz projects are put onhold. Did the embassy sent you an email for medical, nbi and passport request or they sent you a letter by mail? Did they call your previous employer?

I am really praying that it will not take that long

Let me know

Thanks
Chris

@jgelbolingo

Yes, you correct you put OTHERS on type of Work Permit.

But on Government of Alberta Pilot Project and, Trade Alberta Enterprise and Advance Education under The Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
My knowledge here is limited. But since you got an approval letter from the Government of Alberta maybe.

I goggle the link the FKL gave it to You, seems you are under at that program.
Heres the link.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/occupations.asp


I am not really familiar about the Albertra Pilot Program.

Just keep posted. There will be applicant with the same as you.

God Bless.

Hi Ben,

Thanks. I am just concern regarding the time frame embassy process application. So i am
getting information from here, to at least know how long the process takes.

Did the embassy send you letter by mail regarding asking you for NBI, Medcial and passport? or they send you an email instead?

Good news that you already receive your passport with visa stamp. You must get ready to processyour POLO , then process for POEA. Are you bringing your family in Canada?

HI EVERYONE! FOR ONLINE APPLICANTS, I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF SOMEONE ANSWERS MY INQUIRIES.

I AM A FILIPINO WORKER HERE IN CANADA. I WOULD LIKE TO DO AN ONLINE APPLICATION BUT I SEE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS FOR UPLOADING DOCUMENTS.

REQUIREMENTS LIKE UPLOADING PDF FROM ADOBE DISTILLER, RESIZING PICS AND DOCUMENTS TO CERTAIN DPI (DOT PER INCH) ETC ETC...

ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY CAUSE IM HAVING A HARD TIME LOOKING FOR THESE SOFTWARES AND FOLLOWING THESE UPLOADING REQUIREMENTS. DID YOU GUYS STRICTLY FOLLOW THESE UPLOADING REQUIREMENTS?

tHANKS IN ADVANCE

jgelbolingo@

The CE Manila email me and asked my NBI and send it thru drop box. It surprised me and no message listed on MyCIC. Other than this all message were all came from MyCIC.

I will go to POEA TUe for PDOS. I already send the POLO to my employer for signing.
I will go alone. Gods will they will follow me soon.

God Bless.

Hi folks,

My wife applied (from Pakistan) for owp online on the basis of my pgwp. She got the medical on 17th of this month and then the medical was updated as "passed" on 21st. But there is no letter requesting for passport. How long does it take usually after the medical to receive the passport request and/or visa?

It could be 15 days to a month. I am not sure about status "passed" means they have approved the medicals, or just that medical report has been "passed" i.e. received. So it might take longer if they have issues with report. Be patient.

I am still waiting for my wife's ppr. The week has just started, I am keeping my hopes high. You should do the same, if you have not already received the ppr. It normally takes 15-30 days, so have patience IA ho jaye ga :D

Keep updating!
