Hi,
I have just spoken to the office that processes the LMO's in Edmonton and they told me at the moment current processing time is a minimum of 10 weeks.
I am currently on 9 weeks and 3 days of hellish waiting so hopefully Im going to hear something positive soon.(Fingers Crossed)!

The employer has just been told to expect a decision in 2 weeks, so 16 weeks wait in total if this is correct, and there are no further delays because of Christmas etc...

WOW! I've never heard of 16 weeks before..
However I was told last week by someone who I now know in CIC that processing priority is now being placed with 'spousal sponsorship'.. not sure why.

I guess i'm in for a long wait then, my LMO application was only sent off 7 weeks ago and i need to wait until i get a yes from the Alberta apprenticeship board for my journeyman (HGV mechanic) before my LMO can be complete.

I spoke with The LMO people yesterday and the current processing time is around 10-11 weeks. Its not 10 weeks from application but 10 weeks from receipt of application. so I reckon total time of 14-15 weeks. They are currently dealing with files from the 4th October.

Re: current LMO processing time Alberta???
Got an answer to my LMO application today but unfortunately is was not the answer I was looking for!
The company are going to re-apply but it means another agonising 10-12 week wait. Is it common for LMO's to be rejected and does it make it easier or harder to get approval the 2nd time?
