Hi guys im new here , please throw some lights on me . Im really stressed abt this new LMIA RULE . my fiance is in nepal and his agency has applied in some food sector in ALBERTA . He said he got a call frm agency saying that they got workpermit (dont know on his name or what) will know and write back again but teill then PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS NEW RULE SO that my fiance's money wont waste on that agency !

Does workpermit comes first or LMIA(lmo previously known ) ?
So if workpermit is issued in his name will LMIA be issued if the employer applies ? His work field is food industry either as kitchen helper, cook or server. ? I came to know there is SUSPENSION .. What is it exactly .. Not allowing TFW falling under food sector? PLEASE TELL ME ASAP SO THAT MY FIANCE WINT WASTE MONEY IN APPLYING TO GOING TO CANADA

LMIA happens first. You can't apply for the work permit without an LMIA.

If the agency is asking you for a lot of money in exchange for a job in Canada it's probably a scam.

That suspension ended in June. They're now processing LMIAs for food services jobs in economic development regions with unemployment rates below 6%.
