ITA proof of employment for dissolved company

Hi all

Got my ITA (hooray) and like many here I'm now collating all the evidence I need to apply. Problem is, for at least one of my previous jobs that I've listed, the company no longer exists.

Re: Ye Haaaa Just got my LMIA!!!!

Congratulations! Can I ask how long it took from your employer submitting the LMIA application to getting the approval? I have been waiting almost 3 months and I hope it's soon!
