LMIA processing times Jan 2021
Hi, just wondering if anyone has any up to date info on the current LMIA processing times - my husbands was submitted early December and is in the high wage stream I believe. Thanks 😊

I think it's not changed much even with Covid, so figure about 3-4 months.
Good luck, hope you hear soon.

ah thanks! Is that 3-4 months just for the LMIA or work permits etc? The guidelines were 35 business days I think but obviously I didn't think it was going to be that quick during COVID. Thanks for replying 🙂

I don't thinks so.
I think it's for PR not a work permit. But to be fair it's the employer who does the leg work for LMIA.

Yeah the employer have done everything they've needed, my inner control freak is losing it because I can't check on the progress! Just have to wait it out. Thanks for your help x

Not all PR routes will need proof of funds, so it depends on which you apply under.
Good luck.

Ah, ok. If you think you might like to stay permanently I'd suggest you look at it, would be awful to move, spend a small fortune on it, and then not be able to stay. So check you're likely to be eligible before you go would be my advice. There's an eligibility tool on the CIC website you can use as a good starting point - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...nada-tool.html
