I was not aware that there is a difference in LMIA (for PR and TFW) can you please share a page or something where I can read more about it?
Also what is the difference in LMIA for PR and TFW is something specifically stated on the document itself?

Thanks

Its the same LMIA, just processed at different centres and employers have to select the purpose on the form. PR only TFW only or PR and TFW are/were the options I believe. This is at the very beginning of the application.

Did you click the link? It doesn't matter where the employer is, it matters what program the application falls under. For example LMIAs for TFWs for Manitoba and Saskatchewan are processed in BC and not the provinces themselves.

Sorry to hear that after so much waiting and trouble... did they at least give a call to the employer? How did they send you this - by email, fax or regular mail? Is it worth to apply again under same noc?

They emailed my employer. There is no other option than re applying. Also have to keep express entry in mind and go ahead than getting disappointed with this shit
