Open (unnamed) LMO processing time

[johnny123]

Is somebody still waiting for SC to put their info on Open LMO? I'm waiting for 6 weeks already, for Alberta :\ Is this being so long because of strikes or what?

Hello? Anyone?

That's too long, it took only 5 business days in my case experience in Alberta.
And CIC doesn't have to do about LMOs, only HRSDC and Service Canada as far as I know.
Perhaps its not an open LMO?

It is Open LMO, that's the case. When the employer called them to follow up he was reminded that he has to wait 20 working days. Now more then 30 working days passed, I am confused, probably I'm gonna call them myself and try to find out what is going on and why does it take so long.

I'm not sure if HRSDC will entertain your inquiry but you can try calling them though.
Good luck.

Tnx. I meant to ask why does it take so long because on their web page is written that it takes up to five business days.

Hi johnny123,

I have exactly the same problem. I am still waiting for SC put my name on the LMO list since 25 Days, for Alberta. I am totally frustrated :-( My consultant thinks that this could take so long because of the strike action and the flood.....
Have you received your confirmation from SC already??

Greetings

Hi, not yet :-( I'm also frustrated, together with my employer. I'm at the end of 8th week already, or to be more precise at 38th business day. I also think it's cause of the strike.

oh my god.... it is so unbelievable!!! my employer is also very frustrated! I can´t believe it, the whole LMO application was faster then this procedure, but how long will it takes to get the work permit? I have to apply for it at the visa office in Vienna, usually it takes 2 months... but because of the strike, may be it will take 4 months.... damn I am really sick of waiting and it is seems it will never end :-(

Are you in Alberta right now?

I'm outside Canada. If you are from visa exempt country, and probably you are since your embassy is in Vienna, you don't have to apply for a work permit at the embassy, but instead you can apply directly at the port of entry ie. the airport in Canada.

I have never thought about the option to apply for a work permit at the port of entry... Yes I am from a visa exempt country. My job offer is under skilled level B, so my husband will get an open work permit if I get my WP. Do you know if my husband will get it at the port of entry too? Or should he apply for it at the embassy?

Yes.

I think that is the wrong answer. Please ask another senior member to clear this one.
