Hello Everyone!

submitted LMIA on September 19th, 2018
file # received on October 1st, 2018.

NOC 1215, Ontario.

Received a call from Service Ontario last week, the interview appointment was booked for Tuesday February 5th..

We have been waiting for the interview call for 2 hours and no one called us (I believe that they just forgot to call us back). We tried to call the phone # that they gave us as a contact number however no one picked up the phone. We left 3 voice messages asking to call us back..

Please advise if someone had the same situation? Shall I wait when they will call us back again?

Hello guess,

What exactly a LMIA number is? I saw on the CIC website saying that I can apply for a work permit with a job offer letter and a LMIA number.

Does that refer to a LMIA file number? If so, does that mean I can apply for a work permit before the LMIA result is given? I am very confused.

LMIA File Number is generally issued once the payment is processed (if applicable) and your application is in queue for processing.
Once ESDC have the interview with Employer, they communicate their decision in a letter which has LMIA Number.
You need to have positive assessment from ESDC and then only can you use LMIA number and offer letter to apply for WP.
Positive assessment means ESDC is convinced that there is no local resource/person available to do the job and hence the Employer needs to bring person from outside.

Hope this helps.
