Jonny123 - on the same page you linked to it has the following:
"Since officers must verify the validity date of the LMIA before processing a work permit application, concurrent processing (the processing of a work permit application that is pending receipt of a valid LMIA) cannot be permitted in most circumstances."
i was advised by my employers legal representatives that i should apply for my new WP on the same day that the old one (august 18th) expired to allow the longest possible period of implied status and to give them time to finish the LMIA application process. they also advised that this would be quicker than territorial nominee program but in hindsight that has proven to be false. As have many things they have said and done.
side note: anyone thinking of using McLennon Ross as their legal representation - please don't, for your own good.
In the end they didn't submit then LMIA application until almost a month after i had applied for the WP. i have the letter from CIC stating the WP was declined because there was no LMIA issued (yet). That was December 10th so i have 90 days (March 9th) in which to sort something out before i'm subject to a removal order but frankly i will remove myself before it comes to that !
Another side note: if you're waiting for LMIA why not write to your MP/MLA - they can influence things and make a case on your behalf to ESDC. In the NWT Michael Mcleod's (Liberal MP) office has promised to try and move it along for me.
I've got my fingers crossed for us all and will update as soon as there is anything worth sharing !
