Thanks

I'll find out if OHs employer intends to FedEx it or what they've done previously.

Hi there

Checked the email at 1am on Sat morning - had an email from Andy's employer saying that the Canadian government had been in touch asking for a signed copy of the employment contract so it seems that they have started working on the LMO! At last!!

For those applying to Alberta, Andy's application went in about the 20th April.

Gryph, shouldn't be much longer!

Hi,

I have just shown your post to my OH who is also waiting his LMO but from Regina.

Does the Canadian Govt ask for this with all LMO's or jsut pot luck. WE have the contract but the employer said not to bother signing it and posting it back as they could do all that in person when OH starts job.

But if Govt are going to request this it would be better to have it done than have to waste time posting it from Northern Ireland and holding the process up by another two weeks.

Of course he, being a typical man, says they might not ask for it and if they do we will post it then. :curse:

Wow fab news for you ! and everyone else on this list...................!!

Thanks for updating!

I thought they needed a signed copy of contract for LMO- we certainly sent one in - but I could be wrong! They just emailed one- OH signed and we pdfed it back

Thanks Gryphea - I am going to make him sign it and post it to his employer tomorrow and at least that way they will have it.

Would it have to be an original, he was wanting to keep that to produce at POE for WP?

Judeandandy

Hi again

I know, we are so excited, we are going to have to start getting organised!

Andy's boss just asked us to fax a signed copy of the contract back to him so I don't think the Govt needs an original copy. If they get back to us asking for one I'll let you know.

So hopefully the LMO shouldn't be much longer. We'll still have the wait for the work permit but the end is in sight. Andy has decided he wants to stay here until the end of October anyway as it is his mum's 60th and for the sake of a couple of weeks he doesn't want to miss it.

Gryph, what are you doing about booking flights... are you going to wait until you have the WP in your hand or are you booking beforehand and hoping for the best?

gryphea

We will book when we have a date, ie once LMO has arrived and once we have arranged a start date and handed notice in over here. We have applied concurrently for WP so we should get it within a couple of days of LMO, if not tehy have thrown out our application as it was over 90 days. If that is the case we will get it at airport!
