So if you are applying for PR then you have an ITA. Or are you submitting a profile to wait for an ITA. If submitting a profile then yes.

Is LMIA same with express entry? Does it have expiration of profile? There is no ITA since September. Is LMIA is associated with Express entry?

Not sure what you mean.

So you are in Canada working and need LMIA/closed work permit to continue working? Or need LMIA for points. If you get LMIA then you can add points to profile. Your profile is good for one year.

When does your PGWP expire? Your employer needs to post the job and prove that no Canadian or PR applied and can do the job. Then employer pays $1k and files for the LMIA. Assume it is a skilled job.

My PGWP is expiring April 2023. She posted the job but no one is applying. You mentioned awhile ago that about the close work permit? What does it mean? Will it be applicable on my case? Does she need to post it at job bank? I'm working as Medical Admin Assistant/physician extender.

Yes, she needs to post it to job bank (and more). She needs to follow the LMIA advertising requirements or the LMIA is going to be refused.

For LMIA, will still wait for ITA before I can apply for PR? We can't process LMIA and PR application on the same time?

It depends on how you apply for PR. If you apply through Express Entry, then yes, you wait for ITA. If you apply through PNP, then you apply through the province and wait for a nomination.

On my case can I apply another stream aside from International student for PNP?
You will need to research the PNP programs in your province and find out.
