LMIA exempt or not

[CANewbie42]

My work permit says LMIA or Exempt No A0223..
Does anyone know if that is my LMIA or if I am exempt? If not, any idea how I can find out. it was in 2017 and I simply can't remember as it was done by an immigration lawyer that is not available anymore.

Axxxxx is the offer of employment number obtained in the employer portal of IRCC. If you get that, it means your work permit is LMIA exempt — are you an intra company transferree? Or your wp is covered under NAFTA?

I had a few work permits before, how can I understand from the work permit if it was LMIA exempt or not?

If it's an ICT then it's LMIA exempt.

According to recent news, low-wage LMIA work permits will only be issued for one year starting from September 26. My friend, a religious worker, is renewing his Indian passport, which will take about a month. His current work permit expires in June 2025, and he’s thinking of applying for an extension now in September 2024. Should he apply with his old passport to get a 2 year work permit, or should he wait for his new passport? If he applies with the old passport, can he update IRCC with the new passport information during the application process, and will this affect his application? Also, will the recent LMIA changes impact LMIA-exempt work permit holders working at minimum wage, including the validity of the extension (one year vs. two years)?
