I see. We should probably restore the statuses as visitors then. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, I guess we will wait for LMIA to come through and restore the statuses as workers when we get it. If we're still waiting for LMIA when it's about to reach the 90 days, we will restore the statuses as visitors. Or do you think we should restore the statuses as visitors...

Hi canuck_in_uk, Two months passed after submitting the work permit app (without positive LMO) and we got this refusal message from CIC (work permit app has been refused and implied status expired) - Now we would like to proceed to the restoration of status to become visitors and wait for the...

Thanks for the info. At least I won't loose my implied status automatically, which gives us a bit of relief. I hope the LMIA process is not taking too long because of all the recent changes.

Hi canuck_in_uk, Thanks for the link. Do you think “confirmation number” implies LMIA confirmation number that ESDC sends by mail to the employer after they receive the LMIA application or actual LMIA number after the reviewing process is complete? (or are they the same numbers?) I think my...

Hi canuck_in_uk, It's me again. Your advice will be much appreciated. My employer submitted my LMIA app last week, and I submitted my work permit app (and spouse open work permit for my wife) early this week with the copy of LMIA app as proof of the submission. My current temporary work permit...

Hi canuck_in_uk, Thanks for your information. Yes, they are aware of the change. It is pretty bad time for a new application. However we will continue to try our best we can to raise the possibility of getting LMIA. I called CIC twice and two different people on the phone both said I will be...

Hi canuck_in_uk, Unfortunately the LMO app was disapproved a couple of weeks ago, mainly due to “insufficient recruitment efforts”. My employer called the officer for an appeal but she said my employer must use Monster and Workopolis for my position to meet the minimum requirement. They posted...

Hi fkl, Yes, my employer submitted the LMO application but I said "we" because I was helping them to make sure we are doing the app correctly, etc. I took the questionnaire for work permit app already so that I will have documents ready by the time the positive LMO comes. I have most of the...

Thanks canuck_in_uk. That's right, CIC doesn't have anything to do with LMO app... fkl, I'm still waiting for my LMO to be approved, but am also starting to prepare for the temp work permit app (with my wife's OWP) and CEC at the same time. Thanks for the info though. It's good to know you can...

Thanks fkl, Do you think we can call CIC and explain that we meant to put 3 years on the application instead of "permanent"? My current work permit expires at the end of July and needed be extended. I'm thinking of applying for CEC this October as I will have worked in Canada that time. I...

I originally though I was in NOC B but was actually in NOC A when I searched yesterday

Fantastic, thanks for the link. My job is in NOC A Level so it should be ok. I saw on CIC website that they are implementing this new system called Express Entry in January, I will keep an eye on that one, too. Thanks for all the help, I just have to keep my finger crossed to get my work permit...

I see, I just checked my LMO application that has been submitted and there was a section “Expected Employment Duration” and we ticked the checkbox that says “permanent” as my company’s intention was to keep me for as many years as possible. I hope this won’t cause a problem though… I guess if...

Hi canuck_in_uk, We have another question. In IMM5710, there is a section for "Duration of expected employment", and the job offer that's listed on the documents list also needs to "state that you will be employed in Canada for a specified period of time by that company." Do you know the max...

Thank you canuck_in_uk, THANK YOU!

Hi canuck_in_uk, We really really appreciate your help. Looks like I was on a completely wrong path. You have spotted all my errors in my questionnaire. "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" --> originally answered no because I thought I was going through the...

My wife and I are currently in Canada and we both have a temporary work permit under the International Experience Canada (IEC) initiative (known as working holiday), which is only valid for a year and about to expire. I am applying for my work permit with my LMO obtained, and would like to apply...
