Are you referring to the wage listed on the approved LMIA? I agree

For the work permit application? 2024: An LMIA was submitted in July 2024 with a proposed wage of $31.25 per hour. At that time, the wage listed on Job Bank was $31 per hour. 2025: The LMIA was approved in January 2025, with the wage confirmed at $31.25 per hour for a 3-year term...

After that, I can apply for the SOWP. If my IEC were considered an extension of the work permit, I could apply for...

I was looking at the IRCC website and I don't think it will be possible. Although the IEC is a 'work visa', the CWP is considered a 'new application' for a work visa. It's hard to believe.
