My company used a lawyer.

They asked lots of questions but i am not sure about an actual 'Interview'.

to get the file number took less than a week

Thanks for the reply, my employer is also using the lawyer(Green and Spiegel]
applied on Nov 7th 2016, waiting for the file number
my work permit is expiring on May 31st 2017. after that i cannot extend my work permit as i reached my max limit of 5 years, unless i have a positive LMIA in place by that time.

Applied since 20th august and waiting for the result

Have u got the file no??? We also applied in last week of August bt no news as yet

Hey, I was just wondering whether you got the LMIA. Considering the weightage of LMIA-backed has gone down tremendously, that would have disadvantaged you a lot. Isn't it? I applied my LMIA in August. No response yet.

Thanks

Four-year maximum – Work in Canada

Most people can come to Canada to work for a maximum of four years. If you are currently working or plan to work in Canada, you should keep track of the total time you have worked and plan to work in Canada. After you have worked temporarily for four years in Canada, you will not be eligible to work in Canada again until another period of four years has passed.

Before you are eligible to work again in Canada, you will need to spend four consecutive years either:

outside of Canada; or
in Canada but not working (i.e. with legal status as a visitor or student).

At that point, you can apply for a work permit and you can start another four years of working in Canada.

This is known as the ‘cumulative duration’ rule.



Exceptions

When you work in one of the occupations or categories listed below, the time you work in Canada is still counted toward your four-year maximum.

It is only when you apply for a work permit that these exceptions become relevant. An officer may issue a work permit to you if you have a job offer in one of these occupations/categories, even if you have already worked in Canada for four years.

These categories or occupations are the exceptions for which a work permit can exceed the four-year limit:

NOC O and A (including spouses/dependants of these skilled temporary foreign workers)
LMIA-exempt jobs under
International agreements
Canadian interests
Self-support
Humanitarian reasons
Jobs that do not need a work permit
Permanent resident applicants who have received a positive selection decision or approval in principle
Provincial nominees applying for an employer-specific work permit

Any work done while studying in Canada on a full-time basis does not count toward your four-year maximum.
