    IEC Permit Holder, now have permanent job offer, what are the steps?

    Thank you for the information. Do you know the cost and process for obtaining this LMO? What is the maximum time I will be granted under the closed work permit? 6 months? 1-4 years? Does the LMO have to be obtained prior to applying, or can I merely reference a file number? Thank you again!
