Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
They are processing May and have been for the last 2 weeks at least so should be well through it by now.
They are processing LMO's so fast at the moment that if there is missing info on any particular application then it can be delayed disproportionately.
I strongly suggest that if your application has been in since March or earlier then your employer should find out the status. We had someone waiting since last year and an enquiry revealed a lost application, which once identified was processed in 5 days. Make sure your prospective employers keep on top of things but don't bog down the system with pointless enquiries.

My application went in some time end of April / beg of May to Alberta, and I've not heard anything yet.

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
Do they just process the LMO applications purely by date order or do they prioritise in some way (according to 'occupations under pressure', 'skill level' etc) ?
There seems to be great variance. Some people wait 7 weeks, others wait 20!

Re: HRSDC LMO Timeline
I have no idea how they priortise applications. I was informed by my employer that it may take as long as 6 months! My occupation is not classed as 'occupations under pressure', however my employer contacted HRDSC to mark my application urgent in the hope it would speed things up. I'll keep you updated if I hear anything.

Yeah, it's being handled by a lawyer in Calgary who works in immigration. Last update (yesterday) was that he's put a complaint in re the length of time this has been going on.
Will be absolutely gutted if it gets rejected!
Ps- Starlight- just noticed your timeline for PR- it's identical to ours. Hope everything goes well for you (and everyone else!)
