LMIA APPROVED TODAY

LMIA was approved today after 9 months of waiting.

My worry is that my LMIA has a one year duration. I'm currently on study visa and have put in for my study extension already for a second program


Should I just stick to study, do 1+1 and get my 3years PGWP or take the LMIA? What happens next after the one year duration of my LMIA? LMIA is a teer 3 job role and in BC.


I don't want to waste opportunities, time and money.

My spouse is currently on SOWP and my kids on VVs (recall I still have my study visa and this won't expire until June 2025). .

I'm just confused!

Your decision. Just remember with changes to PGWP that it now states your PGWP is the length of the two programs (read it on the site). So don’t expect 3 years. When do you start second program?

LMIA will give you 50 points for EE.

No more three years! God

I heard the 50 points for LMIA for EE has been removed. Is this true?

50 points for LMIA has not been removed. Three years was never guaranteed and now it is explicitly stated so don’t plan on it.

You may be able to get a PGWP that combines the length of each program.

Each of the programs you completed must be

  • PGWP eligible and
  • at least 8 months (or 900 hours for Quebec credentials) in length
You can’t get a PGWP if you already had one after completing an earlier program of study.

It is not your LMIA but your employer’s.

We don’t know. The goal is to get rid of fraud and make PR process more equitable and bring CRS scores down. IRCC may reevaluate LMIAs for current applicants to try to determine if fraud was involved. For a long time IRCC decided to turn a blind eye to some very questionable LMIAs and timing of these LMIAs.
