hello I am sorry to hear that. I was surprised if you attached extended nominee and work permit support letter with your application then why they need LMIA. did your employer pay comliance fee and fill LMIA exempt form ? your reply will be helpful because I am applying for extension tomorrow .it will help me before i do something wrong.
thanks



HI! nope...my employer did not fill up a LMIA exempt form..I dont think I needed that...I attached my contract , PNP certificate and letter of support from my Nominating province...I wonder if they really reviewed my application or they got lazy and just stamped with refused decision...SMDH

If your letter of support from the Nominating Province is mentioning conditions like Employer name and Noc Code, then you won't get OWP. You would be eligible for Closed WP and they would need an LMIA exempt form as per the new Norms since Feb 21.

Buddy, that's what i am saying, since Feb 21 things have changed, any application after Feb 21 need to have a special LMIA exempt form. If you are applying for OWP then you don't need that form.
