Hi,
I'm in canada from August 2013. When I came to this country my employer provided me unnamed LMO (Labour Market Opnion). My visa expires in May 2015.

I applied Express Entry I got basic eligible to apply but problem is i got 229 points with out LMIA ... As we know its very hard to get Invitation from CIC . So Inorder to get Invitation I can only see I need LMIA from employer ..

I requested my employer I don't know is it easy to get LMIA at this point of time and also if any knows whats the processing time for LMIA if my employer willing to sponsor .

does any one knows how it works. Currently I get 35$ per hr..

thanks

I think with LMO; you can get 600 points. There are lots of people who have applied with LMOs; so track their progress and then apply.

Thanks. for the reply..

While filing it just LMIA option it doesnt show LMO option..

In express entry they only allow LMIA..

Ok if you say they accept LMO then I've valid LMO till May 2015. I need more replies Can I use my existing valid LMO as LMIA and claim points

According to this source LMIA = LMO

''Is the worker currently in Canada under a positive LMIA/LMO?

If yes, skip to candidate steps
If no, an LMIA is required. Continue with employer steps''

Thanks with LMO I already got points 600 and last week I sent all my education documents to get ECA to WES ..hopefully I will receive in couple of weeks time so that I can increase some points.

Thanks for the response.
