My profession is skilled, level A. I have another offer from another company, and they are currently applying for an LMO. I have not resigned from my current employer since I was advised to wait for a positive LMO before resigning. The new employer has applied for my LMO last Feb 13, and up...

Hi Frank, your employer is the one who's supposed to follow-up for your LMO. I guess all you have to do is ask your employer about updates, pray and wait.

I think it would be better not to overstay. I know of someone who also found an employer but overstayed. In the process of the LMO application, she received a letter from CIC that she has been overstaying and has to leave Canada. You could always complete your application at your country of...

I'll probably go through Buffalo then since it's faster. Thanks Leon.

Thanks for the advice the Leon. It was helpful.

I am a temporary work permit holder. I would like to resign from my current employer and work for another employer. I was given a new job offer and the new employer has applied for an LMO. The LMO application is in-process. 1) If I resign from my current employer now, would I be considered...

Is it possible to apply for an open work permit while my husband applies for sponsorship for my PR application? I have a current work permit, although it has a condition that I could only work for my current employer. I would like to do relief work with other employers as well. Would I have to...

My LMO application has been filed last Feb 12, 2009 in Ontario. My NOC is skilled, level A. I have a colleague who had the LMO application posted on March 5, 2009 and received a positive survey today, April 9, 2009. We have the same employer. Our employer had been trying to keep in touch with...

First, it's the employer who applies for an LMO. The conditions in the work permit is usually based on the HRSDC confirmation. So it's best that you fix your LMO issues first before applying for a work permit.

Yes, it's kind of hard these days. The process is slower. But if your job's high skilled and in-demand, then you have pretty high chances to get a positive survey.

Hi Leon, But under category 3, I don't think I still qualify since I still have to work for atleast 1 year

I have scored 70 in the point system for FSW class. My job is under the NOC Skill-level A. I have been in Canada for almost 2 years. I have done post-graduate studies for 6 months, and on-the-job training for about 4 months. I have a work permit and have an arranged employment. However, I don't...

Hi , They say that Services Canada is talking longer to process LMOs because of the recession. It usually takes 2 weeks in Ontario, now it takes about 7 weeks. Do you think there's truth to this?

Yes, you could have a second employer. But you also have to have a valid work permit for your part time job.

As long as you have an entry visa that's valid, you could go home.

Has anyone done concurrent processing? Is it advisable to avail of this, or is it better to wait for your LMO before you could apply for a work permit? To decrease wait times, CIC could now process WP without a positive LMO yet. Granted, you have to include a letter stating that you would want...

Hi, I am currently waiting for an LMO, my employer filed it last Feb12 and until now, I still haven't heard from Services Canada. Anyone knows how long does it usually take for LMOs to be processed in Ontario?
