Are you sure? I've come across several people saying there's no fee for a LMIA that supports a PR application, but where are you guys getting this info from? I've been unable to find any official sources mentioning this.

I noticed they just updated this page a few days ago: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/mexico.asp So like you say OP, apparently there's no way to apply for a police certificate from Mexico until you get an ITA, a file number, and a letter requesting...

One thing you didn't mention OP was that your employer has to pay a 1000 CAD fee for the LMIA application.

Is this true at all? Does anybody have a link to any official website stating this? I was under the impression employers always have to pay $1000 to apply for a LMIA regardless if they're hiring a new foreign worker or if they want to get a LMIA for a current employee who was LMIA exempt when...

Fellow Mexican here, so you were one of the lucky few to be receive an ITA? How did you do it, do you have a LMIA? As for the police certificate, I've heard horror stories about PGR losing files or messing up applications. I'm yet to request one myself, as I would have to receive an ITA before...

Yes, they might as well have called it "LMIA entry".

This is very much off-topic, but I really think BC and Québec are the most beautiful provinces in Canada.

Or you could try learning French and applying under Québec's programs. I'm pretty sure they won't ask you to be completely fluent in French and if you think about it, immersion is the best/fastest way to learn a language and you're already living in Québec.

Just wanted to chime in and mention that not only open work permit holders are affected by Express Entry's 600 points for arranged employment with LMIA. Foreign workers who come from certain countries that have an international agreement with Canada are also exempt from LMIAs. Myself, for...

What's this fuzz about the CEC 2014 cap being reached? Has anybody got any official link with info on it?

First you should wait and see if you get an ITA (invitation to apply) from CIC. Only if you do will you get an actual file number. What you could do right now is have your photos and your fingerprints taken so you're ready for when the time comes. PGR has very specific guidelines for photos...

Sorry to hijack your thread a little bit, OP, but I read it and I'm very interested in what you guys think of my situation, particularly after reading what doubleym just wrote here. I am not an international student (I am actually a NAFTA professional) and I was recruited in 2013 along with...

Other folks from this forum who applied for CEC in September 2014 are just starting to receive their AORs so I think you should be expecting to receive yours in February 2015.

November 2014 applicant here too! I just looked at the Excel sheet of the folks who applied in September 2014 and it looks like they started getting their AORs the first days of this month so that should mean we should be expecting our AORs around March 2015, I guess. By the way, does anybody...

Thanks for your reply doubleym. I'm so disappointed in this EE program. It feels even racist I would say since this means that all of us NAFTA professionals who have been working in Canada for a while on a perfectly valid work permit are awarded no points at all for arranged employment just...

Hi ei8hteen, I'm on the same boat here, submitted my profile yesterday (+24 hours ago) and still got no PDF from them. I did however receive an automatic email from them about one hour ago saying my profile had been updated or I had a new message but when I login I see no change at all in it.

For those who had your ECAs done by WES, do you know if it's enough to quote the WES reference number only in envelopes? For example, would including the WES reference number as part of their own address be enough? WES Reference No. XXXXX World Education Services Documentation Center 2 Carlton...

I didn't get any EE registration confirmation PDF and I completed my profile yesterday. How long does it take them to send this PDF?

I just finished filling out my EE profile and now I'm logging in and realising no points have been awarded to me for arranged employment even though I have been working in Canada since October 2013. I am a NAFTA professional, and as such my employer didn't have to issue any LMIA when they hired...
