So, couple people whose medical reports went after mine, got their visas yesterday, because they sent em via courier. My medical reports went online on 7th Feb and I haven't heard from the CHC yet. Courier is faster than online for the visa office people it seems. :/
ND Work Permit Processing Time since February 2012?

Hi,
I came across this very helpful group in the last week. It has been extremely informative. I am sure there are many of you out there sharing such grievances (or worse) like the one i am about to share. However, it surely is encouraging to see such an active forum. Am glad to note there are so many of you receiving positive response from the VO in the past few days.
This is my story:
I got an offer letter for an intra-company transfer from my company based in Canada in October 2012. A law firm hired by the company was handling our paper work and represented us. I applied for OWP and SOWP on 29/11/2012. Got a rejection letter on 15/02/2013.
Reason stating "Application does not meet all the requirements of Part 11 of the regulations" and goes on to state " not demonstrated you come within the exceptions under section 186 of regulations or that your employment in Canada comes within exceptions to section 203 of regulations. As a result, your offer must be subject to economic effect determination before work permit can be issued to you"... after waiting 53 long agonizing days!!!
As i understand it right an LMO is required. Since it is an intra-company transfer the law firm had initially said the LMO is not required. Apparently they were wrong.
Maybe its appropriate I also mention here that I had applied for a PR in Dec 2011 and have not received any information about my PR since then. Not sure if the PR application has caused any conflict for the WP!
Now we have an option to reapply. However, i have to take the burden of all extra charges to process the application again.
1)Can anyone guide me as to what i should do and if at all i should proceed?
2)Is it worth paying the law firm to process the application again or can i get it done individually as i have most of the paper work from my previous application?
3)How long does it take to get the LMO if i start the process this week?
4) The law firm says that we can clearly mention the PR application is under process and incase we do not get the PR before the work permit ends, we will leave Canada and that should be sufficient... is that the case or should we provide more information???
Somebody help me!

Thanks for keep updating and it seems like ND visa office is working slowly but as soon as they are giving positive response that's being good part.

No it will not....
1)Can anyone guide me as to what i should do and if at all i should proceed?
You need postive LMO to re apply
2)Is it worth paying the law firm to process the application again or can i get it done individually as i have most of the paper work from my previous application?
No comments
3)How long does it take to get the LMO if i start the process this week?
It is something that your employer has to arrange.
Procedure is that ,
1. Ad in govt job portal &wait for 14 days
2. Evaluvate all application and justify to HRD min that your employer could not get right local person
3. Apply for named LMO/ GroupLMO.
If you employer already have group LMO , then you can skip all above process and you can ask employer to proceed named LMO.( 2 weeks )
4) The law firm says that we can clearly mention the PR application is under process and incase we do not get the PR before the work permit ends, we will leave Canada and that should be sufficient... is that the case or should we provide more information???
They are correct.
My knowedge is very limited and please use this info as preliminary.
@Samster
My case is similar to you. My Visa application was rejected for not having LMO in SEP-2012. My Company filed for an LMO and got a positive one and now i have submitted my Work Permit application to the ND embassy and pending with them for a week. The LMO normally takes about 2 weeks in Ontario (that was my case)
