According to esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_workers/reform/restrict.shtml (read the next to last paragraph under the heading "Highest-Demand, Highest-Paid and Shortest-Duration Occupations")

LMIAs for highest-demand occupations (skilled trades), highest-paid (top 10 percent) occupations or short-duration work periods (120 days or less) will now be provided within a 10-business-day service standard. As is the case for all requests to hire temporary foreign workers, LMIAs would only be granted after a rigorous review of all of the elements of the employer’s application in each of these cases. This service standard will be met by processing these applications first, not by reducing the thoroughness of these LMIAs.
and this rule is effective immediately from 20th June 2014.

Anyone have any experience with this new rule so far ?
