\ Oh no, it took it 34 days because he probably did by mail. Currently I think it is taking around 40? I am not sure though. But, if you are from an extent-country visa, you can go to the border and you will have your new visa right away.

Great!!! Those are great news!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys too :) hehe

I did it a few days ago, same thing that when you are applying for a new visa in the border. (you have to bring the LMO, documents that verify that you can fit the position, such as resumes, bachelor degree, etc. and letter from the company indicating your salary, position, time of the contract...

Well my company applied for the LMO 13th April, but then They applied for the Accelerated LMO, and it took around 6 business days! (it was with the same employer). When I lost my status I stopped working (thankfully it was only a few days!), and then crossed the border with my LMO and I...

Yes!! Last Friday I received my LMO (finally!), so I crossed the border and I asked for the restoration of status... and I have my new work permit!

Thank you!!!

In case you are receiving your LMO after being refused your work permit, and assuming you are from a visa-extent country, can you cross the border and do the restoration / new work permit process? Thanks!

Oh so bad... I know, it seems stupid that they are complicating the process that much. Your husband is a skilled worker, and the government should prefer him to be working and paying taxes! :P instead of waiting and waiting and finally to have to leave the country! I am in Toronto so no idea...

Can I do that now already?? Does the company need to start doing all the process again (job offer, etc?)? Thanks!

Thank you scaryclare! I really appreciate your answer. I still cannot understand why CIC is not just holding the work visa until the LMO is resolved :( Yes I think once you receive the letter you have to stop working. I am a little worried about that because it seems the LMO is taking so long...

Hello!!! I think I will be in the same situation. It has been 62 days since I sent the work permit application so I guess I will receive the rejected letter soon (is that by email or mail?). My work visa expired the 6th May so I have been working with the Implied Status since then. If I am...

Hi!!! one question.. what about if you don't have the file number yet? I am still waiting for the file number and my visa is expiring the 6th May, what can I do? Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone! My employer applied for the LMO the last friday (13th April 2012) and my visa is expiring 6th May. I was waiting for the file number so I could apply for the work permit (and then having the implied status), but I called to HRSDC today and they told me that the file number could...

Thank you so much for the answers! I really appreciate that.

Yes! I'm in Toronto, and I really like this city :) It was a big change for me because I'm from a small city in an island in Spain :P but It's a nice city and the jobs are really better than in my country... best salaries, best conditions... Cheers!

Hi! I'm software developer... I applied for the federal skilled worker but it's a long process so probably I will ask for a work permit too...

No No... I mean in general: cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/menu-inside.asp

Exactly... I'm working in Canada right now, so I applied to the PR. in cic.gc.ca says about Applications IN CANADA. And about the work permit.. "you are in Canada because you have already applied for permanent residence from inside Canada. You will have to pass certain stages in the main...

Thank you!! I was thinking that maybe I had other option (because in the webpage said something about If I applied to PR from inside Canada, I can ask for a work visa too). Thank you!

would like explain my situation because I´m really confuse and I´m not sure what can I do... I came to Canada the 3rd July, 2010. I came with a visa working holiday, and I started to work the 9th August 2010 like software developer, in a full-permanent contract. The company wants that I...
