there should be no question that it is very reasonable for Canada government to give some preference on international students who graduated from Canadian universities or colleges and currently working in Canada. Simply because they are the ones who invested more time and money in the country...

Hi, Yes I know that. but is LMIA with temporary/contract position eligible for BOWP once submitted PR application??

Hi Guys, Could anyone advise on my situation? My CRS is 463 but my PGWP is expired, so currently waiting for ITA. But my employer is willing to file LMIA for me and bring me back to work. I found based on my research that these days the LMIA is taking more than 4 months to be processed. FYI...

One more question guys.. Lets say i got my lmia approved for project position and got 120 day work visa. I dont get 600 points for EE. But if i get ITA with my 463 points I have during working with the visa, am i eligible for apply for bowp if i submit pr app before my lmia expiry?

We havent started yet at all. I am aware that the job needs to be advertised for at least a month before applying. I am just wondering about the processing time once the app is submitted... because if it takes about four months I am not sure if its worth it cuz my crs is 463 and waiting for...

Thanks guys!! I saw that the regular lmia is taking more than 4 months... is that the trend these days or different case by case? If the employer submits lmia app by online will it be faster?

Hi guys... My employer is willing to file my lmia but to speed up the processing time, they are thinking to apply for the position that will last less than 120 days instead of permanent one, as I have some project that needs to be completed within this year. My question is... even though it's...

Hi Thank you for your advice.. Do you think it's safe to submit extension app without LMIA application file number? I mean... that application is not even eligible to apply for extension in the first place. I heard incomplete app cannot benefit from implied status. What do you think...?

Hi, I was considering visitor visa because my employer was not considering LMIA for me at all. I know I have to stop working on visitor visa, but really no other choice... but then today my employer talked to me and he's willing to file LMIA. but the point is, I heard that you at least need to...

My PGWP is expiring next Monday, and I was about to submit visitor visa application. Suddenly, my boss is now willing to file my LMIA application. We have not started preparing the application yet. My boss is saying I can file my WP extension and meanwhile I can keep working. I said I can only...

Hi, any source on this? Thanks!

Hi, Can I ask what the noc team means?

No BOWP, I am applying for visitor visa so need to stop working. Just wanted to confirm if I can work on expiry date. THank you!!

Hi guys, My visa is expiring on May 16, the date said on my visa as Expiry Date. Does this mean that my work permit is valid until May 16 so safe to work, or I can only work until May 15? Sounds like a dumb question, but wanted to confirm as I need to tell my employer when my last day will be...

Yes like I said also. But I decided to stop working because I see that its not worth to risk working illegally and jeopardize my pr process to make a little more money

Yes incomplete application cannot benefit from implied status. The immigration consultants and lawyer I talked to did not recommend to go this way. It can be different depending on visa officers but it seems there are certainly risks. I was in the same situation and my visa expires in a week but...

Waiting at 463. No draw today confirmed i should stop working and go on a visitor visa as my visa expiring in two weeks. Damn.....

Thank you Asivad as always!!! you are the best!!!

Hi Asivad, Just want to confirm on what you advised above... By "settlement funds as per LICO standards for half a year", you mean half of $12,164 (as per LICO for single), which would come to about $6,000? A couple of questions more below.. if you could help Smiley 1. I am filling out the...

Really? I know people who got their 6 month visa with less than $12k. Just asking to make sure, because min. 12K for staying as a visitor visa seems a bit too much to me... Thank you...
