LMIA and Work Permit

[anjansara]

Hello,

Could you please help with below query. I've received a positive LMIA. But not yet started the work permit processing as I'm yet to receive the job offer.

Whether submitting the application online for the work permit is fine before LMIA expiry? Or do I need to give biometrics as well before the LMIA expiry date?

The reason being VACs are still closed and unable to give the biometrics. No clue when it will open.

Thanks

LMIA is valid got 6 months and you must apply for work permit before LMIA expires. You do not need to complete biometrics before LMIA expires

Do you mean the employer has received a positive LMIA. How do you know about the LMIA if you don’t have a job offer? How did you find this job? There are many scam victims so these questions are important.
