My employer got a phone call today. And they have made an appointment to do the phone interview next week. Is there anything my employer should pay special attention to? If anyone can share their experiences that will be great help...

Btw we mailed our application to St. John on 27th July.

FYI:
I filed my application by my lawyer to service Canada on 22th June and got file number after a few days for the position of NOC 1122 - Marketing Specialist.
My employer sent an request to expedite the processing of my LMIA , here is they answer :

To Insure all applications are processed at a high level of service , service Canada regulates the flow of these application through a queue with an understanding and appreciation that all of our clients have urgent labour force need. We continue to strive for consistent,quality service to meet current demands as efficiently and expeditiously as possible.

Whats your Idea?

today my employer received email that we need more documents for advertisement posted.
moreover in the end of email it was written that your file is no more in 10 days priority processing .
I called them and they say if documents are missing then file is shifted to 8 weeks processing.
otherwise all LMIA's applied for PR are answered within 10 business days as soon it shows up in system.
my file was sent on Aug 20.
Received file number on 6th Sept and exactly after 10 business days they asked for more documents.
