hi..you cant apply for work permit unless you have a positive lmo..you have to wait for the lmo..
 
If your WP is expiring, you can send in the WP application. Attach a cover letter explaining that LMO is in process (hoping your employer has already submitted an application for LMO in your name) and that you'll send a copy once it is ready (I think a confirmation that the LMO has been sent is sufficient, not 100% sure of this though).

thank you guys for the answer, but i wanna know if there is like official letter for explanation that my LMO is in process or not?
thank you
 
You should ask your employer if an application for the LMO has been sent; a tracking number if sent by mail or a fax receipt if sent thru fax (online application system is not working yet). An assurance from your employer should be enough (for you). IMO, Vegreville will know if a LMO has been sent in your favour.

thanks job-seeker for your answer.
please i have one more question. which application i have to fill that i have to change my employer and my WP expires too and i'm still waiting for LMO? i have to do (D) restoration or (C) extension? and can i do it on line?
thank you
 
When is your WP expiring? Expired => If expired, you need to send application for restoration and WP application (2 tick marks), else no need for restoration, just WP extension/application.
Is it the new employer who sent/filed for LMO in your name?
Yes you can do the application online but make sure that you attach all documents called for on the checklist (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5556E.PDF)

it's gonna expire by the end of November and yes it's new employer sent it in my name
 
You need to send the WP application before your current one expires. No implied status as a worker after the expiration of your current WP. You won't be able to continue working with your current employer, can't also start working with the new one before a WP is issued. Hopefully your LMO arrives so you can send it ASAP (actually, inform CIC of the number and they'll be able to access the details.
