Did your employer send you the offer letter before LMIA got approved? And Do you mind sharing the law firm that your employer went through? Asking coz I got an verbal offer and LMIA process is supposed to get started anytime soon. No official offer letter yet.
Thank you

Good Day Everyone,

Can I ask how to apply for a job in Canada? and I need to know what process will I take. I have 10 years of experience as a Data Entry Clerk and 2 years of experience as a sales associate. Is it possible to work in Canada?.

Unlikely as there is little in your experience that sounds like you have a skill which couldn’t be found in the local labour market so a LMIA would be difficult.

You need a valid job offer with LMIA. Then you apply for a closed work permit. If the company hiring you is a reputable then the company will have lawyers or HR handling the permits.

I guess I was lucky. I found a company who wanted me and went through the whole LMIA process, employed an immigration lawyer to sort out my work permit, my wife's work permit and all the permits for my kids. They also employed me on contract to work remotely until all the official stuff was solved. I've been here just short of 4 weeks.

They even couriered me a company credit card so that I could use it to pay my quarantine hotel bill.

So it is possible but from what people are saying on here it is quite rare.

An employer is willing to process my LMIA also. How long did it take for your employer to have LMIA approval from the processing date? Thank you
