Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
My employer was able to get an lmia for me. I am currently on an open work permit. Could somebody post me sample offer letter that i can attach with my file.
My current wage is less than what is mentioned on the LMIA, am i eligible to get that wage from the day lmia was issued or shud i wait until a get work permit with the employer.
Would it matter when i apply for pr if my current wage rate is less than the one offered on the lmia. Again, i am currently working on an open work permit.
I would really appreciate the help. Its very urgent.

job offer shd be mentioned as permanent and non seasonal without ending date...rest is normal words...i cant tell abt wages exactly..wait for others advice..best of luck..
 
Part of the LMIA is your employer agreeing to pay you the wages that they stated in the application.

As soon as your LMIA is activated with your work permit, you should be earning the higher wage. So it depends on whether you got an LMIA only for your PR application or also for a work permit.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. Could somebody tell me abt the wages please.


Its should be between you and your employer what is he paying, but if while applying you tell immigration you are under paid than your application will be rejected because your are not suppose to be taking less than that your employer mentioned in your lmia application. you strictly have stay with the wage that you mentioned in lmia.
 
I am currently earning 13 an hour and will be getting 18.5 the day i get my lmia based work permit. but my employer is willing to pay me 18.5 from the day the lmia was approved just to be on the safe side.

In general, it would depend on the kind of LMIA - was it an LMIA to support a PR application (no fee) or an LMIA to support a work permit (as well as PR application)?

(Since you're working on an open work permit, not an LMIA-supported TWP, the terms do not apply to your current/past work history. The terms DO apply as soon as you get the new work permit).

If it was to support the PR application, that is a promise of future employment, to be effective when you become a permanent resident. So I wouldn't worry if you currently earn less, but if it is for the same position(duties/responsibilities), the difference shouldn't be huge - it should be reasonable in terms of a raise..

You have to make sure if before applying for your pr , u are getting 18.5, because that's the wage you got approved for

Hey jes. Its basically the lmia my employer paid for. So its basically for a work permit. But that does get me the points. So its 18.50 from 11 dec onwards. Thank you guys. Is there anything i need to be careful about.
