Global Talent Stream (GTS) LMIA

[miraclekhan]

Hi,
I'm currently in Canada, and my employer has applied for a GTS LMIA. I contacted them to inquire about the status, but they haven't received any updates from ESDC yet. It's been nearly a month since the application was filed. Could you tell me what the maximum time for LMIA approval is? Also, what would be a reasonable timeframe for approval?

There's no maximum. Generally speaking most people wait a number of months.

GST is 2 weeks. Strange you are to wait a long unless your employer didnt file the proper way....nevertheless, its 2 weeks on papre and end of day its ESDC's choice.

It is rarely if ever 2 weeks.
