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?

For the LMIA to be approved, your employer has to prove no Canadian could be found for the job. If qualified individuals apply, then your employer can still try to get the LMIA approved and try to argue why these individuals are not skilled enough, however it means that the chances of approval will likely be low.
