hi
i am currently on an open work permit that expires on August 25, 2010. i got a job offer, but my employer does not want to get into the legalities of LMO. He said if i can get my work permit extended myself, the job offer is on. please suggest if you ve been in a similar situation. can i file for my LMO myself without the employer getting involved?

Hi
No, only the employer can apply for an LMO after advertising the position. |

[/QUOTE] No, only the employer can apply for an LMO after advertising the position. [/QUOTE] Not true. An Immigration Lawyer can also submit the LMO application. A good one will provide you with a free consultant, advice and advise you the necessary paperwork required.

Interesting. I thought all along that only employers can submit and follow up applications for LMO.
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/index.shtml Every year, Canadian employers hire thousands of foreign workers to help address skill and labour shortages. Edited by job_seeker - 22 Feb 2010 at 12:56pm |

Hi
Your correct, the previous poster was "splitting hairs" the employer can have his/her lawyer submit the LMO, but it is still the employer who is ultimately responsible. PMM |

Responsibility lies with who sees the LMO application as being important.
If the employer is not to play an active role, the individual will need to be proactive in managing the relationship with the Lawyer. If the employer is not willing to allow access to necessary information or paperwork (ie. recruitment exercise to prove no Canadians can do the job), the individual can submit a supporting letter, written from a employer's prospective, detailing his/hers skills are a critical requirement for the job and what negative impact may arise if they were to leave the company. A good corporate Immigration Lawyer have good knowledge base to the intricate details which won't be stated on the HRSDC website (for obvious reasons). |

Technically, neither you nor the lawyer could have done anything without THE employer.

I applied under the Canadian Experience class. My timelines are:
Sent application: 1st April 2009 Confirmation received: 23rd April 2009 (cheque was cashed on 8th April) Medical and RPRF request: 3rd June 2009 Medical taken: 16th June 2009 Passport request: 26th August 2009 PR status: 3rd Sept 2009 Though I can't attest to it, I spent a few dollars on a folder and plastic wallets and organized my paper work with a cover letter. I figured immigrations must receive numerous applications and I made the extra effort to assist. This could explain why it had only taken a short time of 2 months to request a medical. Best wishes to all that are waiting.
