Yeah, you won't have any trouble with IELTS here. Lots of dates to take it and judging from your writing, it will be a breeze.

Heyyyyyyy, see? You tried and here it is! :D Congrats!! Hopefully we'll hear from them soon, we're like 6 days behind you. Last update when we called was that it's still pending, that they don't need anything right now and if they do, they'll call. They also said it should be completed "soon"...

Tha plan is for her to go to the border and get the work permit, she's eligible for that, which is another reason for her to stick around. I guess we'll see how it works out, thanks!

If they keep any order in their files, we should hear from them merely days after you do, so come on ButterflyChemist, get it already! ;D

It's not for me but for a family member. She got one visitor extension already, non-related to work, as there was no job offer then. Her current one is expiring soon, she is visa exempt but as the LMIA should be coming through really soon, she'd like to avoid going all the way back, possibly...

As above, if a person is currently in Canada as a visitor would an employer's pending LMIA application with the person's name on it be a valid reason for a visitor extension till it goes through? Obviously have my doubts, since it's a work related reason and not a visit one but worth asking...

You mean a pre-approved, un-named LMIA? If so, I highly doubt any employer on any field would currently hold one after the rules changed last summer and any of the old ones (pre-change) will have expired by now, so a lawyer won't be able to help you with that. If you find an employer willing to...

Don't believe everything you read on the internet... A lawyer cannot speed the process up and the timelines are in terms of months 8)

Thanks for the answer! +1 Just to make it clear though she's already in Canada with valid status. I'm just not sure if we apply for an extension and she leaves *before* the answer (while still on implied status) but when it arrives, it's a negative one. Is it considered "having been asked to...

Hi, got a question about a family member. They're currently in Canada as a visitor and have already had 1 visitor extension which is expiring soon. In the meantime, there was a job opportunity, so now waiting for an LMIA to go through, which should be anytime now. I don't want her to stay here...

You do not have to delete your current account. You'll just have to create a new profile for 2015 when the program opens again. When it does, they'll put up the link for Kompass 2015

And from December 17th till today, they did process one whole day of applications. Now working on August 29th ::)

Good luck to you too!

There's a good chance my whole family could get in a serious life-ruining situation if the LMIA we're waiting for takes 16 weeks or more (currently on the 11th), let alone if it's declined. Talking about a real dead end here. They closed the program for the restaurants. Then they overhauled the...

This is totally disrespectful, not only to the foreign/future workers, who we know they don't really give a sh*t about, but to the Canadian employers/business owners as well. How hard can it be to have a processing time and stick with it or at least deviate within reason? ???

Yeah, fortunately SGI always give 8 months extension when you show them work permit related paperwork

A) Australia B) you'll find your UCI on your introduction letter that they sent to you when you first came with IEC C) don't remember the options but you're basically applying for an open work permit (can't recall of they had a working holidays option there or not.)

Spot on

It's 100% legal status

Oh, would be nice if it was only 4... It's 41 months for 1st stage plus the time of your local processing office. In my case, it's almost 9 years lol ;D
