Only your employer can contact services Canada since they were the ones who applied for the LMIA.

Thanks for your reply but does it take this long .i am really worried now .
It usually does not take more than 6 months, however, off-late there has been significant delays in their approval process. What is ur NOC and where have you applied for your LMIA?

There definitely are chances of refusal as well, but it all depends on the interview (with your employee). However, the chances of refusal is rare. There is no exact science to this process. I have been waiting for my approval for more than 3 months now and I always get the response that my application is in a queue. Waiting for the LMIA approval is like watching paint dry. Nothing we/employees can do about it than wait.

[QUOTE = "Ash02, post: 7156236, member: 784828"] Candidatei-me a Lmia em março, com um mês de publicidade. Eu não tenho nenhuma resposta até agora. Tem sido 7-8 meses e meu empregador está dizendo que ele não pode me ajudar em nada também porque esta é a primeira vez que está demorando tanto. Existe alguma maneira que eu possa entrar em contato com o serviço do Canadá para obter informações sobre o meu caso.

Obrigado [/ QUOTE]

Yes im super worried too. Hopefully this week we’d get the call that we expect and hopefully its a positive one. I dont have much time left too. My employer is very postive about it she’s giving me a push, but you still cant help but to be worried. Cross fingers here for everyone of us who has the same situation. God is good!

Hi Chead, how many time did you extend your visa? My friend did it twice and not sure if we are allowed to extend the visa for the 3rd time
