I am so confuse on Labor Market Opinion, I know CIC website have explained it. However, can Someone please summarize it?
I know the job that belong to NOC 0 , A , B does not require LMO, does that mean others need? like even a cashier at MacDonald?
Please correct me if Im wrong.

Thanks a lot to all of you who read this.
 
Hi,

you are completely wrong,who told you jobs in noc 0 A B do not require LMO,most skilled jobs does and all unskilled jobs does.
 
Thanks for your feed back. You are right. I think I forgot to mention I am under this program.

Post-Graduation Work Permit Program

Under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP), employers may hire international students who have graduated from participating Canadian post-secondary institutions.

They can work up to three years, in jobs related to their fields of study, without the need for the employer to obtain an LMO.
Graduated students who have worked under the PGWPP may be eligible for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class stream of immigration.

At a later date, if you choose to support your temporary foreign worker’s transition to permanent residence, you can improve his or her chances of having the application approved by applying for a labour market opinion from Employment and Skills Development Canada.


Does this mean I don need a LMO? How about if I qualified myself to apply PR after a a year or so, Do I need a LMO for that at the end?

appreciate for your opinion.

I think that answers your question. In case it was still unclear, it is Yes. After PGWP you will need LMO.
 
This is assuming that your PGWP has expired and you want to apply for an extension to work in Canada.
 
extension has to be applied for before the work permit expires otherwise a restoration of status is needed within 90 days.
