Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
Hi Guys,
This is the first time that put some message in this post. I am not English (I am Brazilian), but I am in your same boat.
My employer (in Alberta) applied on May 31 the process for LMO. I am still waiting for the result. On September 9, my employer got in touch with Alberta's office and they said that is still ‘in the queue’ . According to him, in the end of November we will have the answer. Imagine my agony and of my wife.
I will work in the area of graphic computer and animation 3D. The Canadian consulate in Brazil explained to me that my occupation doesn't need LMO, still more because the company is of the technological section.
But for some reason, my employer preferred to apply like Graphic Designer (NOC 5241) instead of Senior Animation Effects Editor (NOC 9990.1).
I need to share my experience for not being crazy.
I hope to be welcome here.
Thanx
Isidore

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
I think your timeline is fine if a little frustrating. In my experience HRSDC always seem to underestimate where they are. Scottandsara on this board submitted may 10th and hasn't heard yet. If there is a problem HRSDC do get back to you- so you do hear if there is a problem. The queue for Alberta is unfrotuantely enormous. I would phone them up again and not ask the lenght of the wait but ask which dates they are processing

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
We tried to get an LMO for my girlfriend's job back at the beginning of July, mistakenly thinking we needed it for our PR application. She got a fax through yesterday saying it had been rejected because we hadn't include an unspecified piece of information with the application.
Good thing we didn't need it after all, eh?

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
So my boss managed to get a hold of the number for HRSDC in Alberta, and they said my LMO should take no more than a few months.
I called CIC Canada and the lady said that even if it comes through, I have to send off for my work permit rather than just "swing around the flagpole" and get it at port of entry. Is this true? It seems pretty stupid if I can't, as if it doesn't come through before Jan, I can't be on implied status and will be hanging around for months.

1. Send PP and paperwork back to London and wait 6 weeks.
OR
2 Go to border with PP and paperwork and get Visa at POE.
Yeah right! Bollocks to choice 1. PP in london for 6 weeks with no way to travel incase of emergenies? Not to mention the hoping you do that your PP or documents don't get lost some where over the atlantic, and the exspensive shipping costs just to secure all that stuff. Nope not me. I am going ahead with choice 2. Secure, safe and a nice day out to new Brunswick. Gaynor has experience with this sort of stuff and she gave me some great advice. By the way how come you have to wait 2 months for your LMO? Mine took 3 weeks.

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
Today, my employer contacted me saying that my process is 'under review by an Officer.' My application for LMO was submitted on May 31. And on this week they are already seeing the first week of June. Unhappily it is not fast. The process is stressful and it consumes our expectation.
Anhuertas,
I know how it is difficult. But you don't need to worry, soon you will have great news of Alberta's HRSDC.
Good Luck!

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
I cant beleive some of your LMO applications where sent in May and still no news... thats awful. My father in laws was sent in July... so after reading this its made me abit depressed... I thought he would be pretty close to getting the LMO but seems he isnt. Good luck to all of you, I hope your LMO's all arrive soon.
