Hi!
I hope everyone is doing well. I’m in international student currently on Pgwp which is still valid for 1 year. I have created an express entry profile in Butcher category and have a score of 490. I’m planning to buying an approved LMIA offered by my immigration consultant for 30k CAD at this time. Is it worth it to buy it right now as they still accepting points till spring. Expres entry or CEC IS THE only pathway I have I can’t do pnp bcz of my private university. Any kind suggestions would be great and much appreciated.
Bundle of Thanks

Unless this is your current employer you will likely/hopefully be flagged for fraud. This is a stupid plan because LMIA fraud is going to skyrocket until Spring but there are at least some attempts to flag fraudulent LMIAs now in place.

And this is a prime reason this country has gone to crap

And of course we’ll have some members wishing them “ goodluck “

DO NOT go for that route! Why pay 30K willingly to risk your WHOLE LIFE ahead? Might as well, save that 30K while you wait for the ITA genuinely. Even with LMIA, it's still not guaranteed that you'll be approved for PR! With the strict laws that are already being enforced as of now, LMIAs (even the genuine ones) are being thoroughly checked under a microscope. The low-wage LMIAs won't help you at all! But you know what will? It's by being smart and honest enough to wait patiently for the points to drop!
