The client, who was from the Philippines, was job-matched through the firm and the LMIA was approved in Alberta. The documents were completed and submitted on August 12, 2024 and the approval letter was received on September 10, 2024, recorded in the Korean write-up as 22 business days.
The write-up traces the file back to a first consultation on May 24, 2024, which covered the client's preferences, possible arrival date and preferred region, and says the match was made quickly because a position in the client's preferred field was already on the firm's list.
It states that LMIA processing usually takes three to six months depending on the case, and describes the firm's job matching as covering first, second and third preferences with a recorded matching history and a weekly follow-up.
