Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
Hello,
My future employer spoke to me that in two weeks he will be formalizing 3 great projects and I will leave for Calgary. He explained to me their situation, and I didn't have as denying the fact that HRSDC is extremely slow. In the animation industry, nine mêses is enough to produce 3 episodes of 20 minutes for television.
This system needs to change, therefore it imagines the difficulty to renew LMO after expire the previous contract. For who doesn't know still, I received a positive LMO after 35 weeks of long wait. The employer almost lost two contracts while he waited and needed to hire unqualified professionals to compensate the delay.
I am following my life, but I stay of crossed fingers because I waited for a long time to give up now.
Thanks !!

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
I have just called my future boss... (He's waiting for my LMO in Alberta since october 2007)
He told me, that he have no news from Edmonton, but he will try to find out more until the end of this week. He told me at least twice, that he still wants to hire me and he is looking forward to have a decision soon. As well he will ask if it is possible to change our application to an E-LMO... Does anyone know something about this?

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
HI,
I would like to know how we can find companies, that have already been accepted for the PNP as eligible to employ foreign workers.
I have a job offer from a company in Alberta (we are still in the UK), but we are getting very little feedback of what is going on. I do know that the company had to apply for the PNP, but am not sure what is going on.
Our permanent residence application has been in for just about 2 years now, but we are hoping to speed this process up a bit.
Thanks for your help.

An E-lmo is relatively easy to apply for and you'll have your work permit way before the normal LMO is received.

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
Does anyone know what month are attending at this right moment in BC Service Canada Office with the LMO? My prospective employer applied for an LMO on my behalf on August, 20th last year and we did'nt hear a thing from them yet!!
Thanks for your comments and best of the luck for you all with yours.
