21 weeks from lodging the application. My employer advertised 4weeks before lodgement and the new rule is to advertise until a decision is made. Just read on the forum here about a case were the LMO was rejected because of this.

Under Point 4.
Note:
Employers must continue to advertise the available position and actively seek qualified Canadians and permanent residents until the date they receive notification that a labour market opinion has been issued

The last BC LMO I've seen on this site was approved last month after a 17-week wait. Let's hope that the processing time is lower now.

Did you get your LMO yet? I'm waiting for a similar LMO in BC but still haven't received it yet.
