Hey folks
So right now I am currently in Canada on an IEC visa that's ending in a few months time, I have a full time permanent job offer however my employer is unwilling to apply for/obtain an LMIA.
They attempted to get LMIAs a few years ago for staff and were declined and are unwilling to go through that process again, part of this stems from their belief that what I do (NOC 1221/1241) is not niche enough and that it will be denied.
A sister company however is willing to do this but the NOC code associated with this proposed LMIA will be different from what I currently do, it's probably going to be NOC 2147.
On the assumption an LMIA is granted and I use this positive LMIA for a dual intent application, what are the potential repercussions of the LMIA being very different from prior work experience/education?
