Hi, my employer applied for lmia through lawyer 28 Oct, he is still saying he didnt recieved the file number . Does it really takes that long or he is making fool out of me >?
Not sure why you felt the need to start a new thread AND ask here but yes, it can take time, the whole process can take upto 4 months, sometimes longer depending on circumstances.vicksandhu said:Hi, my employer applied for lmia through lawyer 28 Oct, he is still saying he didnt recieved the file number .

You should have a file number by now. It has happened before that the application doesn't arrive or they don't receive it for some reason. If you scroll back through the thread you will see a few cases of this happening. Get your lawyer to call up to see if they received the application.vicksandhu said:Hi, my employer applied for lmia through lawyer 28 Oct, he is still saying he didnt recieved the file number .

No, they can't apply for your current position since you are already a temporary employee of the company.preet93 said:Hi Guys,
I need help. I am currently working on my post graduation work permit. aA it's getting harder for Canadian experience class people to apply for PR i was thinking to apply for IMIA to get 600 points in express entry. My company is really big companies so they have a HR department and everything. When i got the jobs i have gone through their selection process. As i got work permit so they didn't need to apply for LMIA. So my question is can i apply for LMIA for the current position i am working at? Because my selection was a legitimate and everything was official. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
What an awful advice. Yes, the employer CAN apply for an LMIA. My coworker had open work permit, the employer applied for LMIA, and it went through. Now he works on LMIA based work permit.Funbox said:No, they can't apply for your current position since you are already a temporary employee of the company.

Thanks for your reply guys. My company already followed all the rule which LMIA have like they posted the job ads on various websites. They got hundred of resumes and then they picked few for phone interview and second phone interview and then in-person interview and then they select me for the position. So my question was that this whole process happened last year when i got the job so can my company apply for LMIA now?

I meant that the employer will have to create another ad position (same position and name), and go all through the LMIA process.
If the candidate has or not a work permit, it doesn't matter. This is not relevant for the application. The LMIA will evaluate the market impact for the position requested and not if the candidate has an open work permit or whatever.
So, he can apply for a LMIA, but this has nothing to do with the position he is working at. Indeed, the employer should be looking for a Canadian employee to fulfill the position and apply only if he didn't find one.

The interviews and job advertising have to be recent. It means that the interviews from last year will not be valid and they might refuse the application.preet93 said:Thanks for your reply guys.
