We've applied it again because the first application was refused due to insufficient advertisement.patelsandip21 said:
Thanks for your reply Funbox. Since I have PGWP and I am only applying for LMIA for PR.Funbox said:
1. My first question is, I am already working for employer and my employer is advertising with median wage now. So, the real question here is when will my employer start paying me median wage? after I get my PR? or after my LMIA get approved? (Remember, this is gonna be PR LMIA only.)

The processing time depends on many factors like location, job position, whether all the required documents were sent correctly or not. It's hard to say a time because it is very specific for each application. There were people from this blog that got a positive LMIA within 2 weeks and people that are waiting it for more than 25 weeks. Good luck.ersad786 said:

Thanks Joejo for reply, Do you know anybody who have done LMIA for PR?
When i called service canada today. They told me median wage should come in affect once I get PR. But when my employer called them twice. They said median wage come into effect after LMIA get approved.
I have asked some lawyer and they said median wage come into effect after PR.
But now my employer is not willing for LMIA. Because he can not median wage right now or after LMIA. he said he can match wage after I get my PR which will give him some time
I am so confused now.
The LMIA file number doesn't indicate whether your LMIA is positive or not so it is not valid for a work permit application. You will get a confirmation number when your LMIA gets approved, then you must use that one. You have an alternative solution as below.honeybear said:
I have not received a new Labour Market Impact Assessment from my employer or the Certificat d’acceptation du Québec yet. My work permit is about to expire. What should I do?
You can only submit your application without a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) if your work permit expires within 2 weeks. You must include proof that the LMIA/CAQ request was made.
You must:
- include a copy of the application sent to Employment and Social Development Canada/Immigration Québec, or
- include a copy of the receipt confirmation number, if the request was done online, or
- indicate, in the section Details of Intended Work in Canada of the work permit application:
- the date the LMO/CAQ request was sent,
- the office it was sent to,
- the employer’s name, and
- the confirmation number for the submission, if available.
You must contact our Call Centre with the LMIA/CAQ confirmation number within 2 months of the date your application was received; otherwise your application could be refused.
Note: If you are waiting for your CAQ, you cannot submit your application online. You must submit a paper application.

No. It doesn't matter if your employer has applied for a LMIA before or not. You can extend your work permit within 2 weeks before the expiration date of your current work permit. You will have to proof that your employer has submitted for your LMIA and you are still waiting the decision. When you get the decision, you will need to call to Service Canada and provide the LMIA result. If the LMIA result comes negative, then you will not be able to work anymore. You have two month to call Service Canada and provide the decision, otherwise you work visa extension might be refused.honeybear said:
