My first work permit was IEC, we had LMIA positive and we sent extension work permit (IMM5710, work permit with the same employer) via online to CIC. They received my application on May 14 2015. I have MyCIC account but I dont have any answer.

My lawyer told me, we will received it via mail. I wont go to the border to activate it, but still waiting after two months....
CIC are currently quoting 99 days for WP extension applications received online from within Canada:

Until CIC gives you an answer.

BUT: on what status are you "implied" at the moment? (As IEC can't be extended, I assume you changed to visitor status & stopped working when your IEC expired?)

I never stopped working. LMIA was granted two months before my IEC expire. Instead we go to the border to active my new permit with LMIA, last week of my IEC we sent it via online to continuous working

??? I'm sorry, I don't understand :(. If you went to the border (flagpoled?) to activate your new work permit with LMIA, what exactly did you send online, & what exactly are you waiting for?

I sent IMM5710 Extend my stay in Canada as a worker with LMIA. Because I was working with my IEC and we had LMIA positive two months before expire my IEC. My lawyer told me, I can continuous working and I will received my new work permit via mail.

Hey Guys ! I need your guidance. I have received Lmia and have got ITA and have received AOR . I'm working in a gas station and a new employer is gonna take over store. I have had a chat with them and they are willing to sign any papers to hire me. Will it affect my EE file.
Your help and guidance is very much appreciated.
Thank you

Read these links concerning implied status and IEC:

(I still don't understand about you going to the border with your LMIA).

Re-read this:

If you activated your new TWP at the border, there shouldn't have been any need to apply on line?

Hi guys.

If esdc asked for additional docs like the signed contract between the employer and employee, does it mean it's on process already?

thanks

Hello,

I have been a bit of a silent stalker on this forum, but I thought I would share my experiences, as I recently received a positive LMIA.

12th June – LMIA Submitted
16th June – Additional document requested, sent same day.
6th July – Employer call
16th July – Positive LMIA received
18th July – Flagpoled – Successfully obtained work permit, and spousal open work permit.

NOC 1222 ( Executive Assistant)
Duel intent LMIA – Applied to St Johns
Just under 5 weeks from initial submission to approval.
Applied from within Canada

I hope this gives hope to those out there waiting! 

mine is also on the wait and I don't have hope anymore. I have been waiting since January and nothing is happening and my job is in the engineering field with a salary of 50 dol an hour. I am not sure why we have not received anything from SC. Hopeless story
