Canada discloses the rate of approval for work permit LMIA applications.
When will my application for a work visa be processed, and how long will it take?
The amount of time it takes to process an application for a work permit is contingent upon the type of permit being sought as well as the applicant's country of residence at the time the application is submitted. It can take anywhere from a few weeks to many months for the processing to be completed.
How much time will it take for my application to be processed for an LMIA?
Both a normal LMIA and a simplified LMIA are the two sorts of applications that fall under the category of labor market impact assessment (LMIA). The streamlined LMIA is only accessible in the province of Quebec at this time. The processing of the normal LMIA is done on an individual basis, and the amount of time it takes to complete the process varies substantially from one applicant to the next. The average amount of time it takes to receive a response to a typical LMIA application is at least five months of waiting time.
If an employer is qualified to participate in Canada's Global Talent Stream, then they may be eligible for accelerated processing of their LMIA application. Generally speaking, the processing time for the streamlined LMIA that is completed for employment in Quebec is somewhere between two and three months.
What is the percentage of successfully submitted applications for work permits and LMIA?
Due to the fact that each application is handled on an individual basis, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of the percentage of successful work permit and LMIA applications. If an applicant is able to demonstrate that they satisfy the LMIA's requirements, then their application ought to be accepted. However, each officer has the authority to decide whether or not to grant a work permit application based solely on their own personal discretion.
How I can verify the status of my application for a work permit?
Should you have submitted an application for a work permit online, you are able to monitor the status of your application through your online account. When you link your paper-based application to an online IRCC account, you will be able to check the progress of your application once it has been submitted.
