LMO ????

[dr.bassi]

hey
I got accepted as Research Assistant at McGill University, it is a volunteer work without salary.
My employer apply for LMO but they told him no need for the LMO, so I applied for the WP 5 weeks and I got my passport without the visa and with this statement

"You have not demonstrated that you come within the exceptions under section 186 of the regulations
exempting you from the requirement to obtain a work permit or that your employment in Canada comes
within the exceptions to section 203 of the regulations. As a result, your offer of employment must be the
subject of an economic effect determination before a work permit can be issued to you. Your employer in
Canada should contact the local office of the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development
Canada to begin this process"

what should I do now..... please help me

You need an approved LMO.

I would ask your employer to submit the LMO again and include the rejection letter you received stating that an LMO is required.

An employer cannot apply for an LMO for a volunteer position that would normally be paid to a Canadian worker. McGill should know this. Is this part of an education program like a fellowship? That's different. You probably need legal advice because it doesn't seem like you are clear about what category you belong in.

I will help my PI in his research without getting any salary. So I wouldn't say it is an education program.
Ok, if my employer applied for the LMO, does the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) give my employer a letter indicates that I don't need an LMO? and if they do, can I use this letter as letter to exempt me from LMO in the embassy?

Did you submit the LMO with the work permit application? Was it still valid? Was it authentic? If so, then it looks like the VO made a mistake in their reasons.

@RJESSOME-- tnx for the comment..When im reading the refusal letter, they stated many reasons including that about LMO but the box has no mark of X unlike to the last statement which appear like this:

Other Reasons:
(X) Based on your personal situation, employment history and long term plans, you have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of any authorized period of stay. (i dont know how to insert box thats why i used parenthesis instead of box)

Your reply is very much appreciated..thanks so much...

They don't believe that you will leave Canada at the end of your work contract because you have not proved significant ties to your home country or country of residence. The only option you have is to apply for the WP again and to strengthen that part of your application. A positive LMO does not guarantee a work permit.

You need an LMO to extend your work permit.
