I’m facing the same thing now,my application is 11 months already and no response whatsoever….Im tired and frustrated!
Hi guys I got refused for a in Dec 2024 for a missing LMIA due to submitting it late. I don’t think it was added to my file after submitting. I sent in a reconsideration immediately in Dec and Feb.
I decided to make a new application for restoration in February 2025 24th.
I got approved June 2025 12th.
Make sure your letter of explanation is clear. It is imperative and important you add any documentation that’s can help you.
Applied from Montreal.
Good luck guys

Does anyone have gone through similar situation? My cousin applied for closed work permit from inside Canada in Feb 2025 within a week after Lmia approval end of January 2025 . She signed a Job offer in October 2024 and around same time employer applied for Lmia. Application was in process for almost 8.5 months. Officer has rejected the application citing reason that job offer is age (more than a year old). They didnot ask for any document or seek confirmation from employer if they have doubt that offer still valid or not. What is the fault of applicant if they are holding application for 8.5 months. She has already applied for reconsideration but her status is going to expire in 3 weeks. Any suggestion? How she can maintain status while waiting for reconsideration decision.
