Hi everyone,

My employer has agreed to apply LMO for me
however, i am not sure if we can put contract length for 1 year

does anyone know if we can put 1 yr or 2 yrs ?
i did some research and i saw in the forum that usually the LMO is only valid for 6 months?

and also, does my job has to be very very unique when i apply lmo ? do they require unique job title ? (abc specialst etc ? )

is there a site that can find out the wage as well to put on the LMO ?

and lets say we apply LMO on April 1 and it approves on August 1 , do i need to be in Canada during that time period ?
can i go back to Hong Kong and visit my family ?

To find the prevailing wage for the LMO (which must match the wage in the ad for Job Bank) go here:

http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/content_pieces-eng.do?cid=1

It's important that the employer does not put LESS than the prevailing wage. The LMO will be denied if they do that.

Hopeully someone else will help you, as I don't have answers to your other questions. Good luck!

If the NOC code has a "0" as the first digit it is a management occupation..
Therefore, it falls under NOC 0


Now for NOC A, B, C and D.. If the 1st digit is not zero, look at the 2nd digit.. This is how..

if the 2nd digit of your NOC code is 1 -- it is under NOC A

if the 2nd digit of your NOC code is 2 or 3 -- it is under NOC B

if the 2nd digit of your NOC code is 4 or 5 -- it is under NOC C

and if the 2nd digit of your NOC code is 6 -- it is under NOC D



in your case, your NOC code is 3212.. The 2nd digit is (2) , therefore your occupation falls under NOC level B..

GOOD LUCK..!!! :)
