My sister has rejected her lMIA twice for book keeper through an employer last year in Sudbury. Now the same employer has applied again last week for accountant position with the hourly rate of $29 for her.
Questions:
time period to process high wage Lmia nowadays?
what are the chances of getting Lmia approved with an employer whose lmia has been rejected twice for my sister?

waiting for reply
thx

Guess depends why the previous applications were rejected and whether there are no suitable applicants in Sudbury

Your title says LMIA accountant and then you say book keeper which are two different NOCS with 2 very different pay scales. Given today’s climate & with many unemployed, the employer has to prove that there was no Canadian to do the job. Even with a positive LMIA which will take months, Your sister still would need to apply for a closed work permit. If from India, work permit processing is over 20 weeks (not incl. LMIA processing approval).

There are quite a lot of red flags. Finding a book keeper or accountant in Canada is not that hard. Given the 3rd LMIA attempt and 2 different NOC there will be concern about why an employer is so intent on employing your sister and why they have not hired somone else in the long period since they applied for the first LMIA.

Canada has a surplus of accountants so the emphasis will always be employing someone who already has the ability to work in Canada.
