So, a lot of my applications to fast food restaurants that had LMOs fell through because I had no experience, despite the fact that the job is advertised as a no-experience-required job. I always keep coming close to getting LMOs but end up not getting them due to my lack of work experience in hospitality. Some employers said that my work permit will be refused without experience. However, one of my potential employers told me that it's still worth applying for since he's had several people from overseas who began working for him with no experience although the chances of work permit approval are reduced without experience. I've also recently stumbled across two more employers who say that they're OK with my lack of work experience in hospitality (maybe they haven't yet made the mistake of wasting an LMO on an inexperienced foreigner).
How much does no experience reduce your chances of work permit approval if you have an LMO? I have a high school and some college education, some work experience in other non-hospitality areas (not much since I'm still young and spent a few years in college), and I seem to fill all the criteria on their document checklist if I get a job offer with an LMO. Are my chances of approval really reduced that much due to inexperience? What is the probability of successfully getting a work permit in my case if I get hired?
