Lmia refused again! Looking to challenge exam.
Hi all, unfortunately & frustratingly I had my Lmia refused for a second time. The reason is because of insufficient evidence of them looking for Canadians to fill the role.
I’ve already been approved to challenge the plumbing exam but before I went ahead & booked my exam & flights ect I just wanted to check weather I need any special study visa or anything?
Thanks in advance & I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Tim.

If anybody was to challenge the refusal I would think it should be the company looking to hire you and NOT you. It’s the company who made the application, NOT you.

Not sure anyone has challenged the decision have they? But I agree it is the company that applies for the LMIA not the individual.

How long will you be staying in Canada for? If a UK citizen then no visa required but you will need the eTA. You would enter as a visitor meaning no work or study but you can sit the exam. You would be expected to leave at the end of your stay.

Re: Lmia refused again! Looking to challenge exam.
thanks for your reply. I’ll only be there a for a week. Literally to sit the exam. Should I apply for my eta 1st? Then book flights? I did one before a couple of years ago when we visited vancouver on holiday with no problems & nothing has changed.
Thanks again, Tim.

Re: Lmia refused again! Looking to challenge exam.
An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. An eTA is electronically linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA.
Check to see if yours is still valid by using this link

If the link doesn't work go to this page and click on the Check your eTA status

If only here for a week I don't see any problems and if asked reason for coming to Canada then simply say to sit an exam.
