This is immigration! Even if your application is perfect, flawless, it can still go through unexpected delays and holds. It's a black box, really. And, while CIC doesn't owe us anything, I think it can do a lot more to be transparent, especially considering the high processing fees, and the...

Everyone is speculating. Of course, we can only go by what's written in the requirements for CEC and the wage. There is no reference to salary. So, it's logical to assume that it doesn't matter. It matters for labour market opinions, but as far as what CIC has written, it doesn't matter for...

thanks, dude. but what you said above contradicts what you said earlier and what's on the CIC website, right? If I've applied for an LMO but haven't heard back yet by the time I apply for a new WP, i can indicate that I've applied (provide a receipt from HRSDC, or whatever proof they give you...

since my other thread was hijacked by someone who didn't have the courtesy to keep on topic, do you know anything about concurrent processing of LMOs? As my PGWP is expiring, I'll have to apply for an LMO to get a closed work permit. However, I likely won't get a decision on LMO for months. And...

Well, that's what I found confusing as well, with regards to an LMO-exempt work permit. PGWP was LMO-exempt. And in such cases, CIC will examine the employer history for the past 2 years if they'd had hired a foreign worker (in this case, me). But upon further review, I think when CIC says...

I want to extend my stay in Canada after PGWP expires. So, I'll have to get an LMO. CIC states that for LMO-exempt work permits (for example, PGWP), CIC will conduct its own assessment of the employer to make sure the offer is genuine and whether in the past 2 years, the employer has offered the...

After being on this forum for a while, I came across an important piece of info: if your PGWP is expiring soon, and you want to continue working for the same employer, you can apply for an LMO, and even if you haven't received a decision yet, you can send some sort of confirmation that you...
