Hi Guys,

Employer has applied for LMO on 29 July 13. Expect to receive outcome between 6 to 10 weeks. LMO file# not received yet.

Question:

I am applying for work permit in Vietnam. To allow concurrent processing, can I apply for work permit without the file# (and the outcome?) and submit when I have the information available from CIC?

Some people say that I have about 30 to 60 days to submit LMO outcome after submitting my application. Other say work permit will be outright rejected if no LMO is submitted together with application.

What should I do? I don't want to face a rejection, but trying to process both docs concurrently so I can land sooner in Canada.

Advice much appreciated.

Michael.
