Hello
When apply for LMIA, the ESDC website says "Use the job title of the available position and conduct a search on Job Bank to determine the median wage for the occupation and work location where the TFW will be employed". So it refers to the stats from Job Bank, which are the stats of 2013-2014. But ESDC also has a table called "Median Hourly Wages by Province/Territory".
Now I'm confused.. My NOC is 2133, which has an insanely high median in Ottawa ($42) according to Job Bank. But in the mean time, the "Median Hourly Wages by Province/Territory" table from ESDC itself says the median wage is $22 in Ontario.
Which is the correct one? As a new grad, it's almost impossible to get $42/hour. Even my employer is willing to help, my wage would be the first barrier. What should I do?
