LMO - Boot's on the other foot ....
Hi all - I am in the very early stages of applying for an LMO in order that we can hire a foreign worker. I have done searches but can't find any recent threads on anyone who has completed an LMO application as an employer - rather than the temp WP side of it as an employee.
I have downloaded all the relevant forms, etc from HRDC website and understand what they require but, as always, it would be useful to hear from anyone who has been through this themselves or who can give me any pointers on what makes a great employer LMO application.
Many thanks! J

Re: LMO - Boot's on the other foot ....
my husband did this for his trucking company. i know one of the biggest issues he had was that the job had to be advertised in Canada first.
When you get about 1000 applicants for one job, it is hard to say none were suitable. But in fact most were not suitable.
i know he had another company doing the advertising and working with Gov of Alberta and eventually we got over the people we wanted from the UK. They did all the work.
If you want more details, pm me as my husband is out and i can not be more informative at the moment.

Re: LMO - Boot's on the other foot ....
We didnt do the application, but helped employer to sort out 
i would say in todays market go over and beyond what they are asking, if it does get refused go again at it with whatever they need............
if you need any help just PM, been through this with a few people lately and honestly they are allowing lmo's, but they are also making the emploers jump through hoops...
Good luck

Thank you!
