Those who got the job offers (LMIA) are residing Canada...is that correct?

[Baskin]

Hello everybody,

Ok, now two draws have been announced and they both show one thing...
ONLY THOSE WITH JOB OFFERS GOT PICKED...period.
Now the question that confuses me mostly is:
- Are all of those candidates in Canada or some of them are in different countries? I mean do employers bother to go through a lot of hassle to hire someone abroad, someone they never met and they expect to see him after no less than 6-8 months or even more?!!!
My friend told me that those who got the job offers (LMIA) are in Canada...is that correct?

well, if you have an LMIA, you are in canada. It means you are hired, and you are working a permanent full time job for the company that got you your LMIA. how do you have an LMIA and reside in another country?

But doesn't mean you can't get an LMIA if you're in another country. I haven't heard of any stories like that, but it's possible

 

[katja2684]

From what I heard from the consultant who helped me with the Express Entry profile, the LMIA is positive in 30% of the cases.
And yes, it's a hassle for your employer because they have to guarantee a certain wage for you apart of the ads they have to post for the position and the proof they have to bring that they interviewed Canadian candidates and didn't find them suitable for the job.

So, according to you guys, job offers are given to those who are in Canada, and those who got invitations to apply reside in Canada.
What about the candidates in the rest of the world?!!!!!

you can still get offered a job if you are outside of Canada. The company just have to go through the same process to obtain the LMIA for you to work here. And if you don't have LMIA, whether you are outside the country or not, you don't get the ITA.

LMIA = 600 points
no LMIA = no 600 points = no ITA

same with people here in canada that are working full time (like me) but we don't have LMIA because we are LMIA exempt, we don't get ITA also... yet. :/ until they decrease their minimum points.

LMIA = 600 points
no LMIA = no 600 points = no ITA

Why you are thinking "no LMIA = no 600 points = no ITA", be patience and
be positive.

I'm just tell the guy what's the situation like right now. We could get an ITA soon even if we have no LMIA, but right now its not the case.

Believe me get a LMIA its very very difficult I live in Canada and I have some friends here in Ontario who are also international students with pgwp and even if their employees help you filling the "complicated and most of 20 pages forms" it's very difficult that ESDC will aprove your claim. i don't know of someone who has get a positive LMIA, only rejections. So I don't try that way moreover now cost 1 thousand dollars!

Hi

To clarify the issue. Yes employers can and do get LMIA's for people outside Canada. I know this because I am one of those people. Whats's more, we've waited months to get it. Process was started in June of last year and the first was rejected in August because Service Canada ruled we had not followed the advertising requirements.

We reapplied in September and were approved in January. So that should settle it. As long as your skills are needed and not available in Canada there is not much issue. The application is straightforward regardless of the number of pages and you don't need consultants etc to fill it out. The Operations Manager in my company did it and it all worked out.

If you dont have a valid lmo but you do have a job offer contract then you get 600

No.

You do not get 600 points if your company did not get +ve LMIA for you.

A job offer without +ve LMIA does not get you 600 points.

 

[mrwait]

No.

You do not get 600 points if your company did not get +ve LMIA for you.

A job offer without +ve LMIA does not get you 600 points.

It is so unfair from CIC .....what is the big deal to have an LMIA or not....many who are working in canada do not have an LMIA...they are already used to the Canadian culture+paying tax to the government...there are many jobs which do not need an LMIA...the sad thing is they get 0/600 points although they have full time jobs.

Those working without LMIA are probably on PGWP. They weren't promised permanent Residence, but they were promised Canadian Education. The thing is, they're using student permits as backdoor for immigration through CEC (now that's not fair to all other qualified candidates). If they qualify for an LMIA then that means they have the skills Canada NEEDS. LMIA is an assurance that there are no foreigners taking jobs from Canadians and immigrants. If you're an Express Entry applicant (Economic Type) and you were invited without an LMIA that means when you come here you have no job to fill that any other Canadians or immigrants can't do. That means the Government need to support you under welfare and that will not be FAIR.
