Is your employer eligible? 6-7 months for processing but that doesn’t include recruitment process for posting your job and interviewing.
also, if the employer has received an LMIA for a different employee before, do they need to do that again? since they have already been assessed?

where can i check eligibility? I am wondering if there is another option if my employer does not agree to an LMIA - would i have to leave Canadav
What is your CRS score and NOC? If you are working in Quebec for Express Entry, you need to show that you are not living in the province. If you don’t have ITA or LMIA, then you stop working and your decision on whether to stay on as a visitor.

so context that i have not applied yet i have a valid permit till oct 2025 and i can only apply for PR in may or june since that is when i become eligible.
my crs score would be 515 and i would not be residing in quebec, although am working with a quebec employer.

alternatively, if i get an ITA in that time and apply or BOWP, and then my work permit
You don't necessarily need to leave Canada. But you would need to apply to change your status to visitor and then stop working.

Yes, if you get ITA in time and submit your complete application in time, then you can apply for the BOWP. Make sure you keep track of the cut off scores for the draw so that you know your chances of being selected.

at this link, it states that an APR should have passed section R10 completeness check, which is not an ITA.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/terms-definitions-related-permanent-residence.html

here, it states that an ARP r10 pass check may be used to apply for a bridging open work permit. So from what I understand, an ITA is not required? you just need to pass the completeness check?

R10 happens after ITA and after you have submitted your complete application. You can't get R10 without ITA.

so there are no options to extend my pgwp without an ITA? i would rather not risk applying without qualifying as that will hurt my chances of the PR. how long is an LMIA process generally?

@Naturgrl @scylla i do not have full 1 year experience yet but when i log in to ircc and check my eligibility for EE using their questionnaire, i am told i may be eligible and a profile is created for me. I am not sure why this is the case - is there any way to know why it says i am eligible right now ?

Post questions once and be prepared to wait for an answer. People give advice here for free. You seem to be looking for immediate answers. If that is what you need, hire a lawyer.
