Hi Members,

My employer faxed the LMO application to Service Canada Toronto on Oct 29th, 2011. They received it on Oct 31st, 2011. My employer called them couple of times until yesterday. HRSDC initiated processing in Jan 1st week, and gave a file#. Finally yesterday HRSDC called employer asking why there was no recruitment efforts (employer explained that I have been working since Sep 2010, and started as co-op student, and currently on post graduate work permit), and to send a fax of my current work permit (PGWP) and gave 24hrs to respond, which is today. My employer replied on call for the questions he had, and faxed them the work permit in the afternoon. This is week 13, not sure how long it will take from here, and my current work permit expires in 3 weeks from now. I am kind of worried, lets see how this goes.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Shiv
 
Hi everyone,

My employer just told me today that finally a case officer is looking at the application and that we should expect a phone call...but he is just not sure when. But I'll keep you updated!!!

Just as a reminder my LMO was received Nov 8th - in SC Toronto.

Best,

Hi guys,

My employer just told me that SC approved our LMO application and that we will receive the approval form next week or so.
LMO received Nov 8th...13 weeks processing time in SC Toronto.

Good luck to everyone else...hang in there!!!
 
Hi guys, I am planing to apply LMO from SK , should be sent to SC, Vancouver, BC.

I have read all you guys' reply, it recently seems East side(Toronto office) process slower than West side (Vancouver, Alberta), right?

By the way, i hope all you guys are going well and faster

Hi sharingkapoting87,

Congrats on your positive LMO. May I know which location you applied the LMO and for which NOC?
Mine was submitted Dec 16 but still no news.
