Admin assistant, employer never applied before, EDSC just say they have a lot of applications, and yes, I am studying in Canada
Ok. All you can do is wait. Since you are studying in Canada then you will have the skills, education and language to to the job if LMIa is approved. Make sure your experience letters are ready along with ECA (if required, and language tests.

The fact that the job is not in an area where there is a skill shortage may also have a significant impact. How did you find this job? Is it located in a well populated area? Are you trying to leave your studies before completing them? That can make getting PR much more difficult. What if this employer no longer needs or can afford an admin assistant. The Canadian economy will likely face some very challenging years and we will likely see more layoffs which have already started.

Thank you, but I am just looking to know more about the processing times for another people, since is everything delayed. After the approval, I'm well aware of the next steps I will take.

I’ve used this platform before for another program and it really helped with the processing time estimation!



I don’t think this tracker has information about LMIA approval timelines but there’s quite a few work permit cases that are being tracked so maybe that can help anyone who’s waiting on their application approval to figure out how long their timeline might take: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-work-permits-tracker



Best of luck!
