Hi, Im hoping someone can provide alternative solutions as i am really confused...

I applied for my LMO about 2-3 months ago before my work permit is going to expire, (WP expiring next week T_T) and last month at the beginning of June, i received it back saying it was positive and that i would now need to apply for my WP extension before this LMO expires...

So i do my Extension of Work Permit and send it in, which was about a month ago. Today my employer recently just received a fax, which is dated the same day as when i first received my positive LMO saying that my LMO was rejected cause i am being underpaid.

So i really dont know what to do, should i call CIC to get my 150$ back? Or do i assume the positive one is okay? Because both the LMO's are dated the same, and im worried we ended up getting two different responses from two different people because my boss may have faxed the LMO more than once.

Thank you for taking the time to read this~

Oh im not sure if its relevant, but i've been in canada for a 3 years, and am currently on a post graduate work permit, so ive been working at my current position for the last year.

Sorry. What i meant is the 150$ to extend my work permit... Since your required to pay 150$ for it, which i paid online.

And yes the fax is from the LMO, everything looks exactly the same as my positive one. So im not sure what i should do since my WP expires next week, and it takes like a month to finish up a LMO and you have to send a WP application within 2 weeks of expiry. So im worried i can't re-apply a new work permit since i just received a failed LMO today.

Oh sorry let me clarify i guess...

on June 4th, they mailed my boss a positive LMO. After i got it, i sent in my WP as soon as possible... But today, June 30th, my boss received a mail that said "Failed LMO because the wage their paying me is not high enough".

The part that confused me is when i looked at the two LMO's (the one positive and one failure) it was both dated June on the same day... So im not sure if my WP application i sent in a month ago is invalid... And if it does become invalid, then will i be able to apply again? Since my WP expires July 5th. Thats my problem, cause when i sent in my WP, i was working under the assumption that i had a positive LMO.

My boss currently isn't in right now, but he faxed the representative that sent the failure lmo since he was pretty angry.

I understand the situation. I am sorry to hear that. What I suggest is that your boss or your representative can talk to LMO and find out what option you can take, such as salary increase, reapplying work or visitor permit or complaining to LMO. This is not professional and LMO's stupidity. Hope you have a better solution.
