LMIA application processing time?
- Thread starter fredde587
- Start date
Hello everyone,
First of all thank you, the info I got from this pages really helped a great deal in the past few years.
I am actually the employer now and this is the LMIA timeline we have for one of our employee:
Province BC - High Wage Stream
LMIA number received April 30th 2019
Called on August 22nd, unable to get any info about LMIA
Called today, September 3rd 2019, file still pending and not assigned to an officer....we are over the estimated 85 business days
Asked for help to the local MP, will see what happens
In Feb 2017 the previous LMIA for the same person, position and wage took less then 2 months....
I was reading the last few pages and noted that there are significant delays and then saw a post where a lawyer was able to escalate the LMIA. There is any specific procedure to do that? (we do not fall into the 10 days fast process NOC or wages)
Thank you
Fabio

Hi Fabio ,
I will be interested to see if your MP can help. I have heard lots of different stories about MPs , mostly good!
We are waiting for an LMIA response also .
Hello everyone my employer applied for lmia through a consultant in July.. He got the payment deduction via cc last week... So when can he expect the interview call?? I read somewhere that after payment deduction the call might happen soon in 20 days time or so... Is that so.. Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
My husband's employer received a letter dated 26th July saying that payment was taken etc (they took payment early July). They haven't heard anything and we have been told 85 working days is the average time taken to process High Wage Stream LMIA applications right now.
We are in Alberta and we don't expect to hear any time soon ...
Hi guys,
Employer informed me that my job offer has been approved, and I did not request to share the confirmation mail or anything . Since I am processing the my application through Manitoba EOI, he also said, the points for the job offer will be updated to the application automatically. I don't want to bother the employer much, but I have a clarification in regards to updating the points automatically for job offer on my EOI.
Is this true or what should I do?
