HI,

A friend has a job offer at NOC A in Canada with a renowned company but it not LMIA approved. It's a direct offer from the company without LMIA.

Can he apply for a work permit? How can he use this job offer?

Thanks

No - he cannot apply for a work permit. The employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA in order for your friend to apply for a work permit.

The job offer is useless without an approved LMIA.

Thank you for your response.

So there is no exception? A job offer always have to be LMIA approved?
