LMIA/ CLOSED WORK PERMIT

[kandarpchaudhary]

Hello everyone. My employer applied a PR supporting LMIA and got me a job offer few months ago. But after a while I came to know through my lawyer that my LMIA is not dual intend, so I’ll be not able to apply closed work permit on base of it. My work permit is expiring this December.

Is it true that I’m not able to apply my closed work permit on base of a PR supporting LMIA if its not dual intend ?

Did they pay a $1k for a LMIA or just applied for a LMIA to support your PR application?

Hello
No they didn’t paid that amount, they just applied for it to support my PR application.

So they are supporting your PR application. So you cannot apply for a closed work permit with it. It adds 50 points to your EE profile so hopefully you will get ITA by December. If you do get ITA and apply through EE once you have AOR, you can apply for a bridging open work permit.

What if there is no ITA until December, any backup plan to prevent that?

What is your CRS score and NOC? If your permit (PGWP?) expires, you stop working. Your employer needs to pay the $1k to file for a LMIA. They will first need to post your job and prove no one applies and has your experience and education.

I’m on 483 currently, trying to improve it to 500 maximum by scoring more in IELTS. My noc is 62010 (Retail Sales Supervisor)

Does your score include the 50 points? Is the LMIA approved? Last general draw (two days ago) was 549.

 

[kandarpchaudhary]

Yes, the 500 it’s including 50 additional.

Don’t know when general draw last went below 500. What about PNP?

 

[kandarpchaudhary]

Nope, I’m already out of the timeline for being eligible for PNP.

What do you mean?

 

[kandarpchaudhary]

I mean that, an individual is just able to apply for PNP until 2 years after they graduated. I crossed that period.

Ok. Don’t know province but if Ontario then why not job offer - foreign worker stream?

 

[kandarpchaudhary]

cant do through OINP ontario. Because of the criteria I mentioned above.
