Thanks for ur reply. Is that Retail Supervisor application getting rejected.

 

[Buletruck]

Alberta’s unemployment rate is 7.3%. There’s lots of suitable Canadian and PR applicants available for a position as retail supervisor.

 

[Sam2605]

I know. Let’s keep fingers crossed

 

[Buletruck]

Let’s keep fingers crossed

Let’s not and hope the job goes to a PR or Canadian who needs it.

 

[Sam2605]

Well I am keeping my fingers crossed. And feel like I am gonna get through. Anyhow thanks for your opinion, which actually doesn’t matter much. Lol

You can keep your fingers crossed if you want too, however, this is the official government position on areas in Canada where the unemployment rate is 6 percent or higher, and as noted previously, Alberta's rate is far higher

The “ cut copy paste “, came from the Government
1- I’m not a immigration consultant
2- Not everyone on here needs a LMIA to work. I get my authorization the old fashion way, I was born here
