Hi. Please help. I have an approved Lmia and eligible for CEC. Currently I am on my visitor record with an approved Lmia and haven’t applied for the workpermit yet. If I get an invitation in next draw, do I need to have or applied for a workpermit?
When did your work permit expire?

My workpermit pgwp expired on april 7th this year then now on visitor record with an approved lmia
So if you don’t want to (or need to) work until PR and your LMIA is not expiring then don’t apply for a closed work permit. When does LMIA expire?

LMIA hs validity till September-20 - 2025. I am confused with my current visitor record, with a positive lmia and if I get invitation in CEC, does a workpermit is required while I file for my pr. I have good points and almost a year left to expire my LMIA

What kind of LMIA did your employer obtain?

Employer did pay 1k behalf of me when I applied for the PR. My lawyer is kinda non responsive too. That is why I badly wanted a help from here. Can you please do an email for me ( if its possible) I believe you know the right ways to deal with it. amrharshal1@gmail.com

We are not professionals. If you want professional help then talk to your lawyer since you are paying for the services. So you have applied for PR (thought you have been waiting for invitation). Anyways since you applied for PR then wait for approval. You cannot work until PR.

Thank you very much @Naturgrl for the advice. I really appreciate it that. Hopefully I ll make it. Just wanna confirm a valid workpermit under my pr supporting LMIA is not required to file my PR. If I am right!
