Regarding some LMIA information.....

[Ankit Amin]

HI everyone,

My name is Ankit and I am working as a electronics technician for 1 year in Alberta and my employer is ready for LMIA process but I have 17 months work permit still left so my que is, Can I apply for LMIA now still having 17 months work permit or should I wait? and how long its take to process?

I am bit confuse about LMIA process because I am working since 1 year so, my employer can apply LMIA now?
should they post add on job bank or interview some technician?
will they have to go all this process again or they can directly apply LMIA?

Anybody please reply me as soon as possible that would be really appreciate.

Thanks guys

Get on it as quickly as you can buddy. It's never too soon to start working on it. Trust me, I've been in Toronto 2 years and I wish I'd gotten serious about PR earlier... LMIA is much quicker than PNP only couple weeks but like I said get on it now. Also you have no absolute guarantee that your employer will still be willing a couple of months down the road or even that the government won't change the LMIA criteria. Get on it.

There is an element of risk involved in asking your employer to file an LMIA. Be aware of that and proceed.
