Got a job offer and signed it! LMIA to start ASAP... But, when to stop looking for jobs?

[tmartihs]

Hello!

I'm curious about something...

I finally signed a job offer with a company that can sponsor my new Work Permit!

However, there is this LMIA process... That can be a big problem for me.

My immigration consultant told me to NOT start more than ONE LMIA process at a time!

But, what if some Canadian / PR get my job in the meanwhile?

That's why I'm posting this message here...

I'm thinking about that I have to continue with my interviews and find more sponsors but, when EXACTLY should I stop doing it?

When I sign a job offer?

When the LMIA process start?

When I apply for the Work Permit?

I want to make sure that, if one LMIA doesn't get approved, I'll have another one straight away, quickly!

Best!
Thiago

Your question is not a common one, I wouldn't expect much help from people in the forum.

It's the employer who is responsible for the LMIA process and not you. Therefore, there is nothing to stop you from looking at other opportunities, apart from the ethical responsibility to the existing offer.
