Extend LMO
Hi Everyone
I am in need of some advice, I am on a WP which expires 13 April 2009, we submitted our PR application at the beginning of September 2008, but have not receive an AOR yet.
I am concerned with the timelines of everything that I will need to renew my WP before PR comes through. My existing LMO expires at the end of December 2007, so my employer will need either extend it or get a new one.
I have found this form to extend it on the HRSDC website.
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/workplaces...s/emp5354e.pdf
My questions are:
Can my employer just extend my LMO?
If so do they complete the application to extend the LMO & send just the form in, or should they prepare a whole new file, with all the relevant information pertaining to my wp application? I can't seem to fing a guide to extending an LMO.
Should we apply for the LMO extension now or closer to the end of December?

Re: Extend LMO
We have been doing the LMO/WP thing too and have tried to look into it in as much detail as possible.
My understanding is that your employer needs to apply for an extension to your LMO - NOW as I was told that the average processing time is 74 days!
Again my understanding is all you have to do is get the LMO then do a flag pole run to get the WP renewed at POE - can anyone please verify that this is correct?
A question for you - how come your WP was valid for longer than the LMO? I thought you could only get a WP for the same length of time as the LMO?

Re: Extend LMO
You are correct, I will need to extend my WP if my PR application does not come through in time, but as the thread below indicates, I need to know if I need to extend my LMO.

Re: Extend LMO
We submitted our PR application in September, we have not had an acknowledgement of receipt yet, so I am getting a bit concerned we need to extend the WP.

Re: Extend LMO
We are from the UK, came to Ontario 18 months ago, submitted our PR application to Canadian High Commision in London.
The company I work for have said my job will become permanent once I have PR status.
