Thank you, the first one that went in wasnt rejected it just had information on outdated forms that had been used in previous years to obtain LMOs.job_seeker said:What happened to the "initial one" in September? Depends on the job type you are applying to. If you don't need a visa to enter Canada, and you don't need medicals, then you can obtain your WP at the closest border.

I think that i will apply to extend my visitor status and let them know its because i am waiting for whether or not i will be able to stay here and become a worker. Is this the best way to approach it? Is this what any of you have done whilst waiting...?
Hi hjshsa,hjshsa said:Hi,

This is so slow!! I applied on Jan 10th so I am a long way off yet by the sound of it.. Visa is up on April 22 so time is not my friend!hjshsa said:Hi,

Welcome to the club, I applied on Feb 10th and they gave me the same timeline of 3 months, good part is that I received a file number in just 10 days. My work permit expires March 15. Today I sent out work permit extension notifying CEC about the LMO application which is in process and also gave them my file number. My advice to you is, send your work permit renewal application in last week of April and provide them with LMO file number for reference. You're good on time.

Called HRSDC back in November asking when the company should apply for the LMO - the agent said it was way too early and to wait until Jan or Feb because it only takes 4 - 6 weeks. Company sent the LMO on Feb 16. I called HRSDC to find out what the approximate processing time is and they told me 3 months!!! Not sure what to do now as my work permit will expire before the LMO comes in.
Any advice?
