LMO alberta
im visiting calgary now and my cousins friend talked to me and we hung out so he offered me a job at his company. now im just a visitor from visa exempt country.how does the process go? i was told i can do flagpoling and come back and apply for wv on the border? i lived in usa for 3 years will they ask for fbi clearance? will i have to do medical if im from visa exempt country? please help i have 3 more months of stay here and than i can extend my tourist status

LMO's are currently taking around 12-16 weeks at the moment. Once you've got the LMO, you can then apply for your Temporary Work Permit.
HTH.

Why do you have a criminal record? BSOs at the border might ask about a criminal record but copies of such are not mandatory.

Re: LMO alberta
they called in yesterday to confirm my information. now im reading about flagpoling and documents , it says proof indicating you meet requirements of the job being offered ? i dont have any proof like that its low skilled position and the company is willing to train me. should i just say they will train me? also about 150$$$ can i hand them cash?
