I don't want to put a downer on your 10 day processing, however I read on a different thread that it's only applicable if the employer has received a positive LMO/LMIA in the past, otherwise it'll take the usual time of around 4 - 12 weeks (it seems). Check if your husband's employer has otherwise you're in for the waiting game like everyone else.

According to the articles/websites it should be the case. My hourly rate is more than $48.08 and I'm in Alberta, my work has had successful LMIA/LMO applications this year and it's been over 2 months since my application has been submitted and over a month since I was given a file number. It seems the 10 day processing is not applicable right now, for whatever reason.

And your boss apply for manager position. NOC..0?

There are several people on this forum who meet that criteria and have been waiting a couple of months for their LMIA to be approved. So don't count on the 10 days. It could be much longer...

Yea ,you right....now i have another dilemma...maybe somebody knows...when the employer do the advertisement he put 60 hours weekly... that means 6 days a week,wondering if is ok?

Hi every one,

I have applied my spouse open work permit online application on 24th September, 2014 and got refusal on 28th october,2014 for same reason as yours :


You have not demonstrated that you come within the xceptions under section 186 of the regulations
exempting you from the requirement o btain a work permit or that your employment in Canada comes
within the xceptions to section 203 of the regulations. As a result, your ofer of employment must be the
subject of an economic efect detrmination before a work permit can be isued to you. Your employer in
Canada should contact he local ofice of the Department of Human Resources and Skils Development
Canada to begin this proces.

So now what to do in this situation? As I on open work permit and I have Nov B level job in British Columbia. My work permit is valid for October 2016. I send all those required documents as per their requirement. But they took the wrong decision as my spouse don't need any job offer from employer. So what should I do in this case.

Hope soon hear from you and others too who know about it. Sad ???

Please if someone got the same reason please tell me possible solutolion in this case. Thanks
