Have you tried doing a google search for a CIC site? I did a quick one and found this thread on Visaforum that might have some good information for you as it has 7 pages. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/processing-times-for-lmo-t93627.0.html

Thanks. I did try it and read the thread you mentioned before I posted my question, but I was looking for official disclosure of their processing time, something like the table on CIC website for work permit processing, not the individual cases of how each one of the poster's application progresses, besides, that thread you mentioned was last updated in Feb, things could be very different now... and this is strange, you could post a link but I can't, not even the link quoted from your post...

You might have to post more before you get the option to post links and do Personal Messages (I think it might be a total of 10).
I was trying to find something like the Work Permit processing times and couldn't. I think your best bet will be looking at the personal histories to get an idea. You could also post a specific question, including the type of job and Province so that someone with a similar story can help you. I've often heard the 12 to 14 wk, but think that there has been an improvement in some Provinces lately.

Here's another link, unfortunately not CIC, stating that LMO's are running about 8-12 wks now with A-LMO process for repeat employers an exception.

The truth is there is no official and truly accurate website giving LMO processing times. Due to the extremely wide variance on the total time it takes each employer's application for an LMO to get processed, it is very hard for any sort of government site to credibly give out an LMO processing time estimate.

In all, my suggestion is to check out the many threads in this forum, as they seem to house the best and latest estimates on the time it might take for your particular LMO application to get fully-processed. Just remember that there are a number of factors determining the length of time it might take, the province or territory you are applying in AND the time of the year/number of LMOs around then being the biggies.
