Hi, I am currently working in canada on a post graduate work permit and my employer wants to apply for LMIA to get me 50 extra points for my EE. However the form EMP5593 got us confused whether to choose which option of the 2 following:
- permanent resident application (this means you will hire the temporary foreign worker only after their immigration application is processed and the permanent residency is approved). This option does not have a processing fee.
- work permit application and permanent resident application (this means you will hire the foreign national as a temporary foreign worker before or while their permanent residence application being processed). This option requires paying a processing fee.
