LMIA
- Thread starter Toorkaur
- Start date
Alright, my employer said she won’t be spending any money and she does know the immigration procedure, so i told her i will get immigration lawyer talk to her. So i want to be involved between lawyer and my employer so lawyer could ask for necessary docs from my employer and i can pay the lawyer as well
I have decided not to speak on this forum due to the lack of correct knowledge on my side , but I couldn't help to weight in on your matter . it sounds like you're going to war with your current employer and in my opinion I don't think it's a good idea.
a lawyer can not force your employer to apply for LMIA for you, and unless you have already got another job offer that comes with LMIA you're stuck with the current one who you just provoked by sending a lawyer to confront her. you see what I am getting at?
I suggest you talk to your current employer first and offer to pay the LMIA application fee yourself with the money you were going to spend on a lawyer anyway . and see what she says , maybe ?
And there’s absolutely no guarantee. The original o/p had stated that his position is in a high demand field , legal assistant ,which could be done by a Canadian . If it’s in a large urban area there will more than likely be competition for this position by Canadians/PR. So in theory he could be just wasting his money
Having a lawyer contact her isn’t going to miraculously cause the LMIA to be approved, that’s just half the battle

now I am totally confused by his situation . if there's competition for his position, why did his employer apply and was issued a LMIA in the first place? this whole thing sounds very eerie ...
Believe he has a PGWP, but that is expiring in Nov-2019
From other postings his score is too low for EE
Documents aren't enough. The role has to be advertised as well per the LMIA advertising requirements (i.e. in at least three different places that meet the minimum advertising requirements). If your employer isn't willing to actively lead the processes, there's really no chance of success.

try some rural communities.....your chances of LMIA approval are comperatively high in Rural communities.
Hi
Can my employer apply for LMIA to support my PR application.
What are the chances?
Im working in boston pizza as acook.
Yes - your employer can certainly apply. The chances an LMIA will be approved for a pizza cook are extremely low. Note that this is a 4-6 month process and it will cost your employer thousands of dollars between fees and advertising costs.
Ok thank you
And one more question.
After approval of LMIA, whats the processing time of PR?
Depends which program you plan to apply through. Generally anywhere from six months to two years.
