So I understand that in order to start a LMIA application the employer has to activiately advertise the position for certain period of time.
If I'm already working for the employer, and I need a LMIA based work permit as my PGWP is expiring (couple of months). During the advertising period and LMIA application, if there's a applicant (canadian citizen or PR) for the position is somewhat qualified, does the employer HAVE TO replace me with the said applicant, and thus terminate the LMIA application for me?
