Generally it should already be an established business. However your employer can certainly try. Your employer will need to start by advertising the job to prove no Canadian could be found for the role. This advertisement must meet the LMIA minimum criteria and must be done for at least a month before the LMIA application is submitted. The processsing time for the LMIA application itself will likely be at least 4 months. So you have a while you wait yet before you will know if they have been successful and you can apply for a work permit.

Thanks for your kind reply! The restaurant have more than 20 outlets across Canada, but I have selected (cook)for their new outlet which is going to opening soon ! In that case also it will take up to 4 months to approve ? Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yes - I would plan on waiting four months.

I thought a business had to be established for a year before they could start hiring TFW? Or am I thinking of something else.

Just make sure you aren't paying any money in exchange for the job / LMIA. If they ask you for any money, it's a scam.

Doesn't matter if it's a reputed chain of restaurants - you need to be sure you are dealing with someone who actually represents that restaurant rather than a scammer. It's very easy for scammers to pretend they represent a real restaurant.

Are they offering you free accommodations, food or transportation?

No, in offer letter they didn’t mentioned about free food or accommodations !!

OK - well that's a good sign. Your best option would be to post the job offer here removing any personal details if you have any concerns about whether it's real. We see tons of fake job offers on this forum and can advise you if anything about the letter indicates that it is a scam.
