hi guys!i know i'm out of topic but i'm terribly frustrated to hear answers from you guys. is there any applicant here like me who's still waiting for work permit? i'm a live in caregiver who applied for a 2nd employer last july 17. but it has been 65 days and no news yet. i'm really worried i might get refused. i called the customer service twice last week but they said it's not on their record yet. i dont really know what to do. my new employer is still waiting and i dont wanna lose this opportunity . could you give me some advices there? it would be a great help. thanks!

Nothing from my side, although my HR contact is away until next week. I hope that the approved LMIA is sitting on his desk waiting for his return! However, the fact no one else has theirs yet makes me not think that will be the case

 

[jaybakerca]

Still waiting.

Going to call SC on friday.

I am around that point now, it should be any day now!

I will not contact my HR this week cause once I do disappointment comes too. So maybe next week or so. Just try to relax and do something busy after work.

Did you apply for wp yourself? Are you sure it is submitted. Cause work permit on line takes less than a month. If that is paperapplication, then it takes 3 months maximum. Call the cic hitline and have your uci number handy.

I'm no longer frustrated.

I took some great advice from a poster on these forums and they basically said, the more you stress about it, the worse it will be

Just do your day by days, get on with your life and be shocked and elated when your employer lets you know the LMIA has been mailed/faxed to them.

I now havent worked since september 2nd, after an original delay of 1 month i am soon to be off work for almost 2 months.

Luckily my employer values me highly and has continued to hold my job even though its coming into busy season (i work at a casino that is right next to the saddledome, so we get busy for hockey)

On the plus side, i have spent the last 2 months at the gym, training hard and eating well and health wise i have never felt better, (i smoked alot and drank ALOT of red bull and drank alot off shift aswell)

So there is that!

Good luck to all still waiting, lets hope we hear something soon.

Hi Jaybakerca
Same story with me. I'm in Calgary too and waiting for LMIA. My application was sent on Sept 2, and after SC call for additional documents, my employer re-sent them on 12 September. I'm spending nice time at home with my daughter from 24 August when my IEC was expired. My previous LMO application was refused after 7 months of waiting, that was really frustrating. Now I learn my lesson and became calm On 10 October my employer inform me that he receive File numer. Hopefully it won't take too long now

Fingers crossed

Btw sorry to hear that after 7 months of waiting your previous application got rejected, do you know the reason why and was NOC the same or?

 

[jaybakerca]

Wow, 5 months and nothing?

Has your employer been charged, file number created?

Are you already in alberta or applying from your home country?

that seems like quite the wait.
