Congrats!! So fast 2nd time around!!

We're still waiting from Sept :(

Congratulations, Im not surprised your LMIA was processed quickly as your NOC is in the skilled Trades list they are wanting in the EE system.
When are you heading out to Canada? Im still in first week of advertising so I have a long wait yet. As a skilled worker I dont think I will be as LUcky as you on a quick LMIA.
My employer is going to apply for me, you know what are the documents required.

I feel you have misrepresented SC and that even after receiving a LMIA all be it after an excessive wait time your attitude is one of ingratitude. Your wage does not need to be above the median. Median wage is used to determine skill level and if below the median you will be placed in the low wage category which does not require a transition plan but instead is subject to a CAP on the number of TFWs. Please be careful before you post incorrect information.

Being below the median wage does not guarantee rejection and your application did not require a transition plan according to the link below.
just want to make sure transition plan is also not required for dual intent lmia ???

As stated in the letter from CIC, you need to stop working. Change your status to visitor and await the LMIA results. When you receive a positive LMIA then you can apply for a new work permit.

Hi butterfly
I have applied for lmia in dec and got file no . Now how long I have to wait for that.do u have any idea?

It's hard to say because timelines vary widely. Having said that, if you received the file no. in Dec you should be close to the finish line. Your employer should call SC to ensure everything is in order with the application.

My employer missed the call from EDSC twice, wondering that if SC will call us again...
There was no one picking up the phone when my employer phoned them back. Anyone has the similar experience?
My patience is almost running out...

Thanks for your reply butterflychemist. will keep trying..
My employer actually has tried few time and left voice messages. I just can't understand how come there's no one answer the phone whenever you called.
