Current situation is that my lawyer applied for both LMIA and extension of the current work permit 3.5 months ago.

In the meantime, we got the work permit extension refused as the LMIA hadn’t been processed.

I currently have 90 days to restore my status and not eligible to work.

Does anyone know why it takes so long to process LMIA applications?
Mine has currently exceeded the average time.

I'm in the same situation. It's been 11 weeks since I started my LMIA application and my work permit extension is about to be processed (almost 3 months since I applied). How long did it take to process your extension?

Hi, we got the refusal of the extension after 2.5 months. We received the positive LMIA after 5 months. In the meantime, I had to apply for a completely new work permit: it’s been 2 months now.
