It is public knowledge that Canada announces the proportion of work permit LMIA applicants that are passed.
What is the estimated time frame for the processing of my application for a work visa, and when will it be processed?
The amount of time it takes to complete an application for a work permit is dependent not only on the type of permit that is being sought, but also on the applicant’s country of residency at the time that the application is being filed. To finish the processing might take anything from a few weeks to many months, depending on the level of complexity involved.
How long will it take for my application to be processed for a low-income housing application (LMIA)?
A labor market impact assessment (LMIA) may be broken down into two distinct types of applications: a standard LMIA and a simplified LMIA. Both of these types of LMIAs are considered to be applications. At present moment, the simplified LMIA is only available to residents of the province of Quebec. It is important to note that the processing of the regular LMIA is done on an individual basis, and the length of time required to finish the procedure varies significantly from one applicant to the next. It takes at least five months of waiting time for a normal LMIA application to obtain a response, which is the usual amount of time it takes to receive a responsive letter.
There is a possibility that an employer might be eligible for faster processing of their LMIA application if they meet the requirements to take part in Canada’s Global Talent Stream. The processing period for the simplified LMIA that is finished for employment in Quebec is often anywhere between two and three months. This is the general rule.
How many applications for work permits and LMIA were filed successfully? What is the proportion of such applications?
As a result of the fact that each application is processed on an individual basis, it is not feasible to offer an exact estimate of the proportion of work permit and LMIA applications that are successful. In the event that an applicant is able to provide evidence that they are capable of meeting the standards of the LMIA, then their application ought to be allowed. It is important to note that each officer have the ability to determine whether or not to issue a work permit application based purely on their own personal judgment.
What is the best way for me to check the current status of my application for a work permit?
