I'm hopefully picking my WP up at POE - can't stand anymore waiting:curse:

Lamont is a small town (Population 1,600) about 40 minutes east of Edmonton - that's were my job is, although I can imagine I will end up living in a town a bit bigger & a bit further out (maybe Vegreville?) due to house prices etc...

Is it a definite definite must that they issue a Wp at Poe? Someone told us that it depended on the mood of the Customs officials but I didnt think they could legally not issue you one. It would be awful to arrive with dogs etc and not get WP because of a grumpy customs guy or gal?
I think my nerves wouldnt stick the wondering and I would rather have my WP in hand. However that said if it was a complete 100% surety that you got it at the POE then I would definitely go that way to speed the whole thing up.

I guess that if you have the right docs then they can't not issue one? My consultant will check all of our paperwork before hand anyway, and I will be giving up work when I recieve my lmo -that's the point of no return I think!

can anybody help?
employer contacted me last week to say lmo had been approved, then emailed me a copy of pre approval document he had sent to service canada!
What does this mean and what timescale can we expect before we can get moving?

Ditto - I'll be handing in my notice as soon as the LMO is tightly gripped in my palm. I'm gonna apply for the WP but if it doesn't come around by the time i've worked my notice then i'm gonna be seriously looking at booking my flights and crossing my fingers. What a nice relaxed flight that would be eh! without a care in the world!!!!!

Hello! I'm new here.My employer submitted the lmo application june 4 and received refusal letter yesterday. Job is in Ontario. Man thats fast! My employer wants to submit new information to fight back the refusal. Do you think its wise to do this or is it ok to submit a new and better lmo application?:curse:

gleech

hello! they say that Canadians were qualified for the position. My employer told me that they have been posting the job vacancy at service canada site February 2007 but up to april 9, they havent found someone qualified. Thats why they want to fight back the lmo refusal. What my employer wants to do is show HRSDC my work and give them the specifics of the work. We dont know if this is possible cause its so hard to contact them! My employer even called and talked to one immigrating officer and all she got was an email directing her to check some links!

Frosting - this is what I am worried about too that it will happen with my OH's job. Althought they have advertised it as well not one Canadian was interested. We have our house on the market and knowing our luck we will get a really good offer for it, accept it and then get our LMO refused and it will be too late to back out. We will be homeless and left in a position that we cant purchase another home as they are so bloomin expensive here. (Rant over). Keep us posted as to what happens to you and all the best I hope everything works out for you.

Hello Alvic! Dont worry everything will be ok for you. I suggested three options to my employer to fight back refusal, or apply again, or post an ad at service canada, let it sit there for a while then apply again. Received an email from her saying she will post a new ad at the site. This way she could attach 2 postings at the new application. I pray everything turns out good! What is good now is that my employer really wants to get me there. But I know they are very busy cause we are in the same line of business. I dont want to hassle them too much! So goodluck on your application! Tell us of the good news once you receive it ok!
