The closed work permit (ICT) which was recently renewed for me mentions a ESDC/EDSC # on it which was not there in the previous work permit issued. This could be some sort of approval/submission/assessment that the employer does at EDSC before applying for the work permit. Rest time will tell..
jagsisingh said:It looks like employer will need to get some sort of "valid assessment" done by Department of Employment and Social Development same as was for LMIA i believe. This is making it more difficult to get from employer. I think getting a job offer after PR was much simpler option. Please let me know if i am wrong.
