Quick question - LMIA

[Osius]

Hi all,

I am currently working on a closed IEC-Young Professionals work permit in Alberta, which expires on 22nd of November 2020.
My boss has already submitted the LMIA application a week ago and I'm not sure whether I should apply in advance for a new work permit, which I assume
gets rejected or am I supposed to wait until a certain stage of the LMIA application so that I can add that information in a seperate work permit application.
All I want is to gain some time and keep working until the LMIA gets approved.

Are there any risks involved in this approach?

Thank you!

You need the LMIA approved first before you can apply for a work permit.
