May be you dont get what he is trying to tell you
In the first place You as the employee cannot apply for LMIA
So in this case i want to assume it is your employer that applied and made the mistake so have your employer address the mistake directly with IRCC.

Except of cos there is a process that enables employee apply one can never be sure all of IRCC process
Potential foreign employees never participate in the LMIA processing. It is always between the prospective workplaces and Employment and Social Development Canada, ESDC. The idea of LMIA is for government to make sure Canadians and permanent residents do not get past over on jobs. It is a tedious job with conditions with timelines that employers don't see appealing unless only the foreigner can do the important job as no CC and/or CPR can or willing to do. After the company gets that LMIA approval, you can then apply for the closed work visa. Of course company will get you the info and documents.

However, people come here and say they applied for LMIA... shocked

you are right…. My company applied for my lmia.
I meant when using the lmia to apply for my work permit, i did a mistake when inputting the lmia number in an ircc form.

Good Afternoon my people, My student visa application got approved recently together with my 2 years old boy. But im so confused right now as to whether to go with him or leave him behind, because I was told that I would not be able to work and as well the day care fee in Toronto is extremely expensive. I also have two other children 9 and 6 which we plan their application when I enter Canada together with my hubby

Please, I would needs your sincere advise as to whether to go with my two years boy or leave him behind for now.

I will strongly advise that you live him behind. Indeed, you will not be able to work if he goes with you except you camln afford the huge cost of daycare. I am speaking from experience.

Good morning all the gurus in the house, I just want to know if maybe my spouse has to travel with a letter of introduction. how can we get one with a visitor visa? thanx
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by folla: 4:50am On Dec 12, 2022
@Vecas,

If you're travelling with the kids to unite with your husband, no consent letter needed.

Enjoy your trip.

@mrlycan,

You can still apply in January with the current passport. After submitting the application, immediately apply for a new passport. Whenever you receive the new passport, notify IRCC of the new passport through webform.

They will process your SOWP, using the details of the new passport. This was what my wife did when applying for her study visa and everything went fine.

Cheers.


mrlycan:
Please house I need your advice. I will be applying for SOWP once my wife leaves in January but the problem is that my international passport will expire in 5 months. Due to the delay in passports, please what can I do with the time left on my passport. Can i still use it to get into Canada?

Please help me out.

Hello house, I want to know from those that made recent Visa applications if marriages conducted by LGA marriage registries are valid for Visa applications? I am getting conflicting information on the validity of marriages conducted at the Federal marriage registry and LGs' marriage registry. By the way, I had my marriage in an L.G.A. licensed place of worship in 2020. That is, the LG certified the marriage.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by gaeul(f): 5:15am On Dec 12, 2022

As at when you did it it’s what was generally acceptable, so even if the law have changed or not, your certificate is not affected in any way.. it’s legal and binding but to put your mind at ease, get more opinions from others

Good evening everyone. I submitted sowp application for myself and sp/vv for my 2 kids respectively on the 12th of September this year. Our application showed medical passed since dec 1st and eligibility and background checks under review. Now I want to ask if I should mail IRCC to ask for update on our applications or I should be patient? The wait is killing.

Hello everyone, I am new here and so confused right now.

Read some post already but haven't gotten the answer. So we were asked to submit passport. Afterward,we got a text to pay for passport transmission.

The question is:

1) Is transmission fee per person for family of 4 or per package.
2) I applied as a student, but I haven't gotten my study permit before the passport request, what am I supposed to do?
3) Do I need to apply for spousal work permit differently?

4) Lastly, I learnt some documents has to be enclosed with the passport sent from DHL but I sent only passport, what's the way forward?

Biko, help a sister before my head burst.
