LMIA work permit

[Madu1985]

Hi, I have applied for a work permit under high wage category for a bookkeeper job with a positive LMIA. Will there be an issue for visa approval with recent policy changes of government of Cannada.

Not if you LMIA meets requirements for high wage for the province, and you meet NOC requirements for the job.

Generally, ESDC checks whether the NOC are matched before granting the approval for LMIA and requirement is genuine. Don't they?

The LMIA is approved based on employer proving they could not hire any Canadian with the experience/education. Your work permit is approved based on proving that you have the experience, education and language skills to do the job. So many times a LMIA is approved, but WP is refused because person is not qualified or didn’t show that they are qualified.

What is your province and wage?

 

[Madu1985]

Alberta. Wage 29.5. LMIA approved in August 24.

All you can do is wait. Did you apply outside Canada and if so when?

 

[Madu1985]

Yes, outside. Applied in this month.

So look at processing times for your country.
