LMIA LOW wage

[Weststarr]

Hi my employer is trying to get LMIA for me, but the median pay for that NOC in Ontario Toronto Region is 27$/h i am getting 20$/h so those it mean that LMIA will be rejected due to fact that im not making the median wage rate ?

It very significantly increases the changes of refusal. You want to be earning at least the median wage to have a decent chance of approval.

So there are still some chances that it will get approved? or as the difference between me and median wage is so high (7$/h) it will get rejected no matter what ?

It's probably almost certain to be refused. Not sure there's much point applying unless your employer is willing to raise your pay to the median wage.

Does it change anything the fact that i am the only person hired on that position ? or this is even worse ?

It doesn't matter one way or the other.
