I have been getting paid $20/ hr since last year but my representative got my Lmia approved at $17/ hour which was the median wage at that time,
My question is will it be an issue that why the job offer wasn’t posted for $20/ hour?
My employer and my representative did it ! I had no idea until I checked the document myself?

iRCC doesn’t care if you were given a raise during your employment. Your employer should have revised the LMIA if you received a raise before it was approved.

So the wage I earned was based on my experience right,
If someone new has to start out they had to start from
That wage !?

Your employer made an error but in general IRCC cares more if people are getting paid less than more.
