Expired but activated LMIA - currently working in Canada

So earlier, even though I have an LMIA and 2 year work permit, my application has been immediately rejected with a message "ineligable to apply".

I have created new CG Key as I couldn't understand why would that happen. I will apply tonight again as I'm too shaken at the moment to do it now.

Anyway, I started reading and was told that CIC might not accept my LMIA because it expired (issued in July, expired last month), even though it has been activated and I was issued two year work permit on which I'm currently on and working for an employer from whom I have a continuous job offer.

Can someone please confirm/debunk, thank you.

Yeah check other things that qualify your profile and also did you put in your work permit validity date some where in the application?

You are making mistake , As I know your LMIA validity depend on your work permit validity date. So for exemple if your wp upto 2016 february , then your LMIA also valid upto february 2016. When will your WP expired .

I've put expired LMO (valid for six months to get WP) and it worked fine for me.

That's right, LMO is valid for 6 months only to extent WP.
