Wow!!! Congratulations for the approval. That's unbelievably fast for a low wage position. My application is for BC as well and I'm currently in the 25th week...

Same here Shamrock, I'm extremely stressed too as I'm at the 24th week... Hopefully we'll both be done soon.

Thanks Joejo, Hopefully I'm close too because it's a long wait and I'm starting to lose faith. Indeed the low wage stream is significantly slower but it's crazy how Service Canada keeps repeating that the average timeline is 10 weeks while I'm standing at 23!! It's unbelievable and I hope It...

Hi Funbox, We have received a file number a few days after they received the application in December. When we received the file number they also called and asked for some documents but the agent clarified that they weren't processing the application that time (only a couple of weeks after it...

Hello everybody, Is there anyone here who has been waiting more than 20 weeks for his LMIA? I'm currently in the 23rd week...

That's very good and encouraging news. Congratulations to all of you guys and good luck to the rest of us that are waiting.

Congratulations Joejo!!! It's encouraging for the rest of us to see that there's some action going on. You must be very happy that you're done with this frustrating procedure. ;D

22 weeks completed here and nothing yet... :(

No worries preet93. We're all on the same boat here and this is why we're members of this forum, to exchange opinions, information and give hope to each other. Regarding the link that I have attached I believe that the first chart shows only the positive LMIAs.

http://www.esdc.gc.ca/en/reports/foreign_workers/2015/lmia_quarterly_statistics/province.page#h2.1 Guys no offense but before spreading false information do some research first. We're here to help each other and transferring inaccurate information doesn't help at all.

Hello guys, There are over 300.000 temporary workers in Canada. Considering the fact that the work permits are issued for either 1 or 2 years it is impossible that SC issued only 3000 LMIA's for 2015. Of course there are other programs as well like the PNP and IEC from where someone can...

Tomorrow I'm entering the 21st week and still nothing from Service Canada. Struggling to stay positive.

Halfway through the 18th week and still waiting. BC low wage position.

Hello Robin123, The timeline for a visitor extension according to the CIC website is 114 days if you applied by paper application (most people do it this way cause they "buy" more time). Since you applied at the end of March it will take about 3.5 months to get a decision on the extension so...

Congratulations to both of you guys!! That's great news!

Hello Fastfood, I don't believe that there should be a difference in timelines between dual intent and just supporting WP. I assume that something happened with your application (not necessarily from your side) because it's not normal to take so long. There are dual intent applications that...

Hello Fastfood, My employer filed an LMIA application to only support a work permit. Also we have hired a lawyer from the beginning of the process so we're following his instructions as it's a complicated procedure and we needed guidance. Patience is the key here but the problem is that Service...

That Sucks.... My application was sent at the end of December at Vancouver center and I don't have any news either. We have also called a couple of times in the last 2 months but the application is still processing... It's frustrating that they can't give any information and we just have to...

Sarahnicole Have they called your employer for an interview? If not and you've submitted the application in February then it's normal to not have an answer yet. If they interviewed the employer in the beginning of February then the employer can try calling them since the decision is taking so...
