Hi all,
I applied for a work permit from USA. It was filed pursuant to an approved LMIA under the Global Talent Stream. I have done my biometric on July. Can anyone tell me when can I expect some result?

1) lmia is usually valid for 6 months (it was extended to 9 months due to covid but i dont think it applies any more).

if the approved lmia is for dual intent category ( WP + PR) then you can claim the points, provided you have enough points for a direct ITA.

Also keep in mind that when you submit your PR application LMIA should still be valid.

Thank you for the reply.
But how will i get to know if my lmia is dual intent or not. Will it be mentioned on the lmia? Coz currently it says gts category

Hi @Raghav54321
1. Is your GTS LMIA based WP approved now?
If yes, could you mention the timeline?
2. Also, could you mention the timeline for LMIA approval also ?
3. Were you able to use this LMIA in your PR application for getting those extra points ?

Thanks
