No, this is exactly the same case with me. We do not need an LMO if we are going in this manner (job offer + nomination) as we intend to settle permanently in Canada and would be getting PR soon.jig nesh said:Thanks for the info. So lets say once you get nomination and job offer also and you want to apply for work permit. in this case, does employer have to obtain labor market opinion?
I am quoting the exact information available on federal website:
An LMO is a document from the Government of Canada that permits your employer to hire a temporary foreign worker.
These people need a work permit but do not need an LMO:
Workers nominated by a province for permanent residence
The person must have a job offer from an employer based in that province.
If you will go ahead and check work permit eligibility, all it requires for provincial nominees is a job offer and nomination certificate.
