Thanks got your reply .
Yes I have received an update but employer updated me later . Below is revised timeline pertaining LMIA in Ontario under NOC - 2174 ( Computer programmers and interactive media )

a) Applied - 25 September 2018
b) Interview - 23 April 2019
c) ESDC asked for review . Employer to provide
further evidence & supporting documents - 17 May 2019

Now Employer has to submit the documents within 30 days . Is this pattern normal ? Does review shows positive signs pertaining approval ?
Keeping fingers crossed .

Regards
It’s almost similar to me.

Are you sure they gave 30 days because in my case ESDC interview done on Friday 10th May and he told my employer to submit additional documents by Tuesday 14th May only. My employer submitted all additional documents on Tuesday and after that I am waiting for final result.
Finger crossed.

I called my lawyer and confirmed that they are submitting documents by Wednesday . I don't know why lawyers keep changing there statements , maybe they are too busy to understand what we ask them .

What is your processing up to ? Best Wishes from my side .

Bro it is taking around 9-10 months. Be prepared for a long wait
Why do we need to prepare for a long wait? Because I'm in the same situation too. My LMIA is taking 9 months now and service canada said it is still under processing. Why it take so long?

Thanks for your reply, but some people told me that if there were some required documents or something is not right in the file, it is taking forever. That's why i'm worried.
