IRCC has made certain changes in LMIA approved after 1st of May 2024. Now LMIA will be valid for 6 months only, instead of 18 months as provided during Covid period. It means that we have to file for work permit and PR within 6 months of receiving LMIA.
Will this mean that our express entry (CEC) application based on positive LMIA will be rejected if IRCC does not hold draw within next 6 months. In that case one has to start and go through the entire process of LMIA and PR again. It would be very difficult.

I am not sure about filling PR within 6 months , I got 50 points even after my LMIA was expired ( I was on closed work permit)

My case is A11.2: Review Required because the LMIA I used is the one I used when I applied for closed work permit. I got the closed work permit valid for 2 years before my LMIA expired. Any advice from you?

Just provide all the documentation you have , lmia # , copy of lmia , closed work permit and any associated stamps in the passport . My case was handled by my company’s lawyer so don’t have lots of details

I think they want to make sure that your closed work permit is tied to your lmia.
I hope so. I’ve been waitng for the result since May 2024, when they asked for the copy of RPRF. Please help me pray for my application. Thank you
