Hello everyone, my employer received an email past friday that your LMIA application has been rejected due to following reasons:

1. Please provide adequate proof of job posting and how long the job was posted for.
My employer had attached the proof of job posting which was made on Jobillico, Job Bank, Internal Company Website and at Job Fair for more than 4 weeks. The posting on Jobillico and Job Bank had the Date Posted and Expiry Date. Whereas the Internal post didn't had the expiry date. The receipt of job fair was attached.

2. We haven't received the payment.
My employer had filled the out the last page of EMP5593 form and had sent separately before the submission of the application. Later while submitting actual application, we hadn't included the last payment form.

Although my work location is Ontario, they have asked my employer to re-submit the application by mailing to Saint John, NB processing center. - Have no idea why?


Can someone please provide guidance on what should be done next?

Much appreciated!

Hi all. My agent started process for LMIA in September 2017, but hasn’t received LMIA yet. Does it take this much long or my agent fooling me? TIA
Average processing time for LMIA is 10 weeks but it can take months Max. 6 months after 6 months you must have got LMIA positive or Negative.If goes beyond that time then,call ESDC/Service Canada or your agent might be trying to Scam you seen that too. Agents are not the one who applies for LMIA it's your employer who can sponsor LMIA with help of Immigration Lawyers. My employer also applied for LMIA in September 10 and this time was a named LMIA in my name and it just got rejected like 15-20 days ago. LMIA is long process it gives headaches to everyone.
I know agents asked fees upfront same with me,but mine is trusted ones but can't say about all. some will scam you or try to trick you in a job offer with bigger promises etc. Perhaps you should ask your agent company name which hired you and talk to them directly and ask. Good Luck!!

I didn't send the application my employer and his lawyer did,employee are not the ones who are authorized to send LMIA application,ESDC will review case for employers.we are only eligible to apply for work permit after LMIA is issued. I had 2 LMIA rejected one unnamed and one named present LMIA was in Departmental Store /Supermarket in Retail as Shelf Stocker/Clerk. It is very hard in such occupation sectors only some people are issued,i didn't have found other job offer so,i thought i should give that a try but no luck...now waiting for next LMIA.
