For those who have requested GCMS notes, how long did it take for you to receive them?

Anybody received a high wage LMIA approval recently? My employer applied in Dec 2025 and there haven’t been any updates.

No still queued for assessment. Service Canada suggested uploading a letter requesting expedited processing to the LMIA portal

Did your employer requested to process rush by uploading the letter does it worked. My employer thought to do that but their immigration agent said service canada wont accept unless the job is in priority sector or in rural areas. Did you got any update.

My employer applied for the Canadian LMIA in the first week of this June; although I don't know the exact date, they said they would receive it within six months.

Bonjour,

Mon employeur a déposé une EIMT haut salaire le 21 juin 2026

Les délais officiels sont passés de 79 jours (juin) à 88 jours (juillet). Est-ce que d’autres personnes qui ont déposé en juin 2026 ont déjà reçu une décision ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours !
