Hi,

My company applied for the LMIA on 1st of June.

What are the next steps once the LMIA is approved?
Could I go to the any port of entry and get my WP or do I need to start a new application to get new work permit?

In case of starting a new application to get the new permit, what is the processing time?
I didn't find the processing time of work permit within Canada.

Thank you

Yes - an LMIA is required in order for you to extend your work permit. Details in the link below:
