LMIA for CEC

[tsf14]

Hello everyone,

I have completed my undergrad as an electrical engineer in Ontario and have been working for a tech company for the last 13 months. I am currently working with an open post-grad work permit.

Do I need to ask for a LMIA?

A side question, when they ask for education qualification, how exactly do I show that I graduated from a Canadian university? Do I need to get a transcript?

You can ask your employer but I strongly recommend that you understand the process completely before raising such a request because it has direct implications on your employment status.

This is what CIC says about Canadian education.

Proof of completed Canadian or foreign educational credentials can include copies of secondary or post-secondary education documents (certificates, diplomas or degrees); and transcripts for successfully completed secondary or post-secondary studies, if available.
