Current LMO Processing Times (June 2014)
- Thread starter karissaanne
- Start date
Hi all,
Company applied on December, 25th 2013 for the LMO. And it is still not finished....
Now finally on Thursday last week, I received information from my company:
>>The company Chief Legal Counsel was able to investigate further with the immigration attorneys and they found that the application was being blocked due to a miscommunication between the Service Canada compliance and processing teams. That has now been resolved and the LMO application is now actively being processed. Service Canada would not commit to a date but expressed that they would provide a decision “very shortly” in light of their error in the processing cycle.<<
Now what could "very short" mean in this context? Days, weeks, month? Anyone an idea ?
Cheers

Here is my story, I mailed my application on June 24th, 2014 through Canada post Express , when I tracking it, it didn't show successfully delivery , I called Canada post for several times, they were saying the item has been delivered, and the reason is since a large volume mails sending to the PO box , specially to the government PO box, the driver cannot scan each single mail , and that is why I cannot see through online tracking system saying the item has been successfully delivered. I called Service Canada today, see if my file has been in the system , but they said it didn't show anything in their system , asked me to try to call next week. Is there anyone else has the same problem like I do ? just wondering ...
NOC: 7293
Province: AB
LMO submitted: mid february
Result: july 17th rejected
we do not know what is the reason, we just received this inforamtion from company (we are not now in Canada). Just want to add that the company many times successfully passed the whole LMO proces, so it is something related to new regulations.
and we still have second application
NOC: 7283
Province: AB
LMO submitted: mid april
Result: still waiting...
but I have bad feeling....

Tough break aika1987 but hopefully your second LMO will be positive. The 'good' thing if we can call it that is that it seems results are coming out. I've hardly heard any results in weeks.

Unfortunately I can't find any chart online that states the average processing time for LMOs.
My question would be: Does it make any difference if the person is already employed by the company? Does it depend on the province? I live and work in Québec.
I initially started working for my company last August (Working Holiday Visa) and now they want to keep me. They told me that usually it takes less than 60 days to obtain a positive LMO plus work permit. My application was filed on June 11th 2014. So far no news. I am concerned.

Well you're still under 60 days. It probably wont be long now.
