IF you have LMIA; you won't need work permit.Drzues said:I just got this job recently, my employer is ready to get me LMIA, the problem with that I only have 2 months work permit left. I was looking to apply for extension after getting my AOR but unfortunately my cec file was received by cic after the cap got filled. How would I extend my work permit with LMIA?
If you obtained an LMIA then you would get a new work permit, however I doubt you'd get an LMIA within 2 months since the employer has to advertise the role for 4 weeks before they can even submit the paperwork and then it's a 3-4 month wait after that point for the LMIA, unless your employer applies for one of the free 10-day LMIAs to support your EE profile with 600 points, however you wouldn't be able to use this one for a Temporary Work Permit and you would have to get an ITA, submit PR application and receive an AOR before you could get a BOWP, which I don't think would happen within 2 months.Drzues said:I just got this job recently, my employer is ready to get me LMIA, the problem with that I only have 2 months work permit left.

If you get your employer on the LMIA ASAP then you can apply for a work permit 2 days before it expires stating that you have applied for LMIA. This will give you 'implied status' for 8 weeks until there is a decision on your LMIA. It might give you just enough time to pull it off.Drzues said:
Well if you can extend your current work permit then by applying for the LMIA will give you a two month window after your work permit has expired which will allow you to continue working.Drzues said:
