Re: How long will implied status last, and what'll happen next? Hi PMM, Good to see you here! I actually saw this in another thread, but I find the last line very confusing. * Participants in international youth exchange programs (e.g., Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP), International...

Re: How long will implied status last, and what'll happen next? I have read some posts with mixed answers to implied status of IEC, I just wonder if any authority that I can write to so that I can get written confirmation? (I heard CIC call centre is not reliable) Personally I don't mind...

Re: How long will implied status last, and what'll happen next? I haven't changed job nor employer. I have only worked for one employer throughout my IEC year and will continue to work for them. But since it's an open WP, CIC has no record of my employer I supposed (unless they got the...

Re: How long will implied status last, and what'll happen next? Thanks for the good wish! How much earlier I should apply for a Paper Application before current WP expires? (I haven't got the file number of LMO yet) Also, on the paper application form, I am not sure if I should check "A work...

My current WP will expire by end of April and my LMO results has no way to be seen before the deadline. My intended approach is to apply for WP with the file number of my LMO, so that I can get the implied status to continue to work. But I learn from a fellow forum member that CIC will reject...

Thanks for the info! I am already in Canada, but it seems that the paper submission is only available for those outside Canada? Restoration of status can be refused as well? that sounds scary... :o

"If you apply online and you didn't the submit the positive LMO they will refuse you within 3-4 weeks. " ---> I am kind of confused since CIC website says applicant will have implied status until the LMO results is known? 3-4 weeks is definitely not enough to get the results, so submitting work...

Unfortunately my boss is still working on the application due to a delay in the accounting stuff. That's why I would like to have an idea how much buffer time we have, as my work permit is expiring end of April. Is applying online a better choice when it comes to a pressing timeline? (I...

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the "confirmation number" after LMO application? I will need that number to apply for work permit in order to get an implied status. Thanks!

Same question here. As far as I know, LMO application doesn't ask for any work/education background of the prospective employee. It's the application for Work Permit (after positive LMO) that requires the applicant to show the proof of meeting the requirements of the job being offered. My...

Thanks for the info! But my current work permit expires end of April (under IEC program), I dare not hold the horse, or I will miss the boat! I am already working in the company for 10 months, that's why my employer wants to keep me. Does it make a difference when they consider my LMO? (for the...

Thank you for the info! 16 weeks is good compared to all others in this thread. I guess you are located in the northern/north-western part of BC? I am in the lower mainland, since there are a lot of applications in the IT field and live-in caregivers, I suppose there is a backlog. Just not...

But ALMO only works for companies who have successfully received a positive LMO in the past 2 years, right? My employer has only done once in the past and the application was not successful (the salary wasn't high enough, so this time they make sure everything works out). I just wonder whether...

Anyone NOT an IT Professional nor a Live-in Caregiver in BC? My employer will be sending out my application this week or next, would like to find someone who is similar to my situation. Thanks!

Hi there, It's me again, due to some technical issues (eg end-of-year accounting stuff), my LMO application will be sent out next week (finally & hopefully). Since my current work permit will be expired at the end of April, according to the timeline, I'm pretty sure I can't get the LMO result...

Regarding Pt 4, "you have 90 days form the rejection letter date to restore your status so you can look for an employer with a pre-approved LMO and apply for a restoration of status and work permit", I wonder what I am during these 90 days? Do I have to do anything to get that status? I suppose...

Should my employer stick to the current timeline (ie hand in LMO application in Jan 2014) or we can actually wait a bit, say Feb-March 2014, and keep the job posting up for a while?

BigBee, you make my day! Thanks so much! Tactically, the late arrival of my LMO results is actually doing me a favour?! (Can I say so?!)

Mind if I ask your status now? WP -> CEC -> PR? So if my WP is refused, but my CEC is in process. Will I get a bridging work permit? or I have to go back to my home country and wait?

Is there a possibility that the experience I gained during "implied status" will no longer be valid if the LMO is negative?
