Sponsoring my Common Law Partner - Work permit Waiting Time

[Graihn]

Yes, a regular work permit requires an employer to obtain a positive LMO.

To clarify, HRSDC just processes the LMO application. Submitting the LMO app does not in any way affect your immigration status in Canada.

If your employer receives a positive LMO from HRSDC, you must then submit a work permit application to CIC prior to expiry of your current status in order to get Implied Status.

Can I send in the work permit application to cic at the same time I send an LMO to hrsdc and send a letter with my WPA saying an LMOA is being processed, and be under implied status?
