hi ms leila, wala ka po nasubmit na payslip or paycheck? tingin mo po, wag ko na lang din isama ung paycheck ni hubby ko pag nagsubmit kami ng application kung may discrepancy ung salary nya sa paycheck compared sa nasa contract & LMO?
Hi oxie, sa tingin wala naman problem, kse ako wala naman sinubmit na paycheck or payslip eh ni hubby , employment contract, LMO and Work permit lang nya.

sis, ok lang yan as long as nag apply ka na may 6 months pa ang WP ng hubby mo... pwede ka ma-approve. Kahit one month left nalang sa WP ng hubby mo makakapunta ka pa din. :D Ako nga June 8 ako dumating dito Nov 2 expiry ng WP ng asawa ko.

Sa Calgary ako, sis. Wag ka masyado mag worry. Isipin mo nalang wala nang tatagal pa sa timeline ko. hahaha. ;D Kaya naging matagal yung sayo kasi after mo magpasa Aug ka pa nakapag medical tapos Sept pa results. Ako kasi January 17 ako nagpasa tapos Feb 12 nakapag medical tapos Feb 24 pinadalhan ako ng questionnaire. So malamang wala na hihingin sayo. Approval na ang sunod. Wait lang and pray. :) God bless!

Hi guys, pwede po mag-ask, this early kasi may naencounter na kami problem...

Required po ba LMO sa list of requirements na isasubmit sa CEM? Kasi we emailed the immigration consultant tapped by my husband's new employer, requesting for a copy of the positive LMO for our file and as needed for application of SOWP, and here's part of the reply:

"For your LMO, except your contract, we aren't allowed to send you the copy [for employer information]."

But I have checked the DOCUMENT CHECKLIST of CEM for Work Permit app outside Canada, and I saw this particular requirement: "Job offer letter or contract from prospective employer and the file number provided by the HRSDC to locate the LMO. Your employer should be able to provide you with this file identifier."

Guys, please help me interpret, since sa doc checklist eh file or confirmation number lang, so kahit walang LMO copy? Kc I understand my recent Privacy Act na di na nagaappear ang name ng Temporary Foreign Worker sa LMO.. Baka kasi makulitan samin un immigration consultant pag nagrequest padin kmi. What do you think guys? Thanks in advance..
Sis, kung ito yung nakalagay "Job offer letter or contract from prospective employer and the file number provided by the HRSDC to locate the LMO. Your employer should be able to provide you with this file identifier." e di meaning hindi mo kailangan ng hard copy. Kailangan mo lang nung file number. usually pinapadala naman ng HRSDC yung letter to give you the number diba?

Sa case ko kasi past and present LMOs yung pinapasa ng consultant namin.

Hi sis, thanks po sa reply.. dear, nalilito ako kc I've checked the Work Permit Application Kit, nakalagay dun need ang copy ng LMO from HRSDC, tpos sa doc checklist naman, kahit file number lang. Mas gusto ko sana may LMO para sure. Almost all members sa forum nagsubmit nun. Pray nalang po sana makakuha kmi ng LMO copy, kasi lahat ng docs nasa immig consultant, contract lang ang nasa amin. I'll try to email the immigration consultant prior to the expected release of new WP, explain ko nalang at ibigay ko un link n needed sa application ang LMO... Meron po ba sa forum na di nagsubmit ng LMO? ???

Thank you and God bless us...Good luck sa mga nagaaply. :)

Nagtataka naman ako bakit hawak nung consultant nyo yung LMO ng hubby mo. Kahit kopya lang naman bakit hindi pa mabigay eh right nyo naman yun diba? Magpapasa na ba kayo ng PR at ayaw nya ibigay ang LMO? hmmm... hindi ko talaga maisip bakit hindi pde. Lahat kasi kami siguro dito hawak namin lahat ng papers before nag-apply kaya nakapagpasa kami ng LMO.

iba ata ang document checklist ko sayo. Ito ang nakalagay:
[]Your job offer letter or contract from your prospective employer
 []The Labour Market Opinion provided by Human Resources & Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) OR
documentation explaining that you are applying to a Labour Market Opinion exempt occupation OR an
occupation that permits you to apply concurrently for a Labour Market Opinion and a Work Permit.


Baka nagbago na nga ang checklist kasi pati yung form IMM1295 2 pages lang nung time ko.

Hi! Puro photocopies lang po hawak nila. May other changes ba sa LMO? Ang alam ko kasi yun privacy act lang na di na nakareflect ang name ng TFW sa LMO Annex. Nakalagay nalang ang details ng employer and job details. Siguro kaya di na binibigay kasi interpretation ng consultant para sa employer lang yun copy. Di kasi kami ang nagbabayad sa consultant, sagot lahat ng employer ang fee nila kaya medyo super tone down din kami sa pakikipagusap. Ang sure lang namin, approved na LMO nun Sept 21 at yun new WP ni hubby, naiapply na nun Sept 29, binigyan kami ng Tracking Number. Wala naman masama kung magbigay sila ng copy ng LMO db, magpapalipas lang kami ng days kc kagabi lang kami nagrequest. Siguro sa mid November mangungulit kami... Hay…

Salamat sis…Nakita ko din yun binigay u na checklist sa forms ngayon pero inconsistent sya dun sa Doc. Checklist kaya nakakalito…

Sis, eto yung link na kahit file number lang: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5488E.PDF

Eto naman po yun link na needed ang LMO provided by HRSDC (page 2): http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/philippines/assets/pdfs/work_permit-en.pdf

Which is which ? :-\ Salamat po… God bless..

Sis, notarized LMO yung binigay daw ni hubby sakin during my application. Ngayon kasi medyo may kaibahan na din kasi forms natin. So hindi ko alam kung nagchange ba yung required documents. LMO and WP ba hawak mo? Pareho tayo ng checklist yun ang wala sa folder ko pero ginamit ko yung checklist na yun. Nga lang, may LMO akong pinadala eh. Pero based on that check list e di ibigay mo yung letter na may barcode at file number. Usually sinesend yun sa nag-apply ng LMO diba? Response ng Service Centre/ HRSDC.

Ynoweh, may tanong pala ako. Online ka ba nagfile ng work permit extension or paper? Kasi sa online application, job offer letter ang hinihingi. Pareho lang ba yun sa contract? Tapos isa pang tanong, pano isesend yung receipt ng courier? Pano magpapaliwanag na nagfile na ng LMO? Kasi sa online application tinanong lang naman kung nagfile na ba ang employer. Wala na syang hiningi na proof. Salamat!! :D

hi sis... online din kami nag-apply ng extension ng work permit ni hubby. ung contract din ung inattach namin sa job offer letter. I guess same lang din un kc may signature naman ng employer nya.
