Thanks for that! I am planning to go to Manitoba. I really hope I can get the work visa before wintertime. I checked the processing time from Australia and it says 5 weeks, although I checked a few weeks ago and it said 4 weeks! Oh well, we'll see...tindelacerna said:Hi!
yes his employer applied for an LMIA that supports dual intent. That is he can apply for a work permit and work ahead in Canada while waiting for PR application. He applied for work permit last JUne and got the approval this July that was faster the the timeline they have in CIC i guess it depends on the country and the completeness of the LMIA and supporting documents.
I suggest you apply for the work permit as soon as you get a positive LMIA opinion. What province are you planning to work?
