I have get a job offer without LMIA letter

[Abdelrahmaaaananabdou]

I have get a job offer from a well known company in Canada and the HR officer told me that i will need the LMIA when i arrive at Canada, i don't think that it is a scam because they don't ask for any money and told me that they will secure the work permit to me and I'll just pay the Visa fees in the embassy, So i wodering if i can get the Visa before getting the LMIA or not?

if possible paste the offer letter here with personal details removed given from what you have posted so far does not sound genuine. What’s the name of the company and job role ? Usually LMIA first then work permit.

Guess you have seen the warning on the company site about fake job offers. Highly unlikely I think for the job you mention for any company to look outside Canada plus they have no vacancies listed.

Note the official email address domain is that same as one used by HR ?

No it was @ engineer.com but if it is a scam what is the benefit they could get without any money transfer?

They will ask you to pay the visa fee through some sort of web site - that web site will be fake and that's how they will scam you for money.

Note that you cannot apply for a work permit until AFTER your employer has obtained an approved LMIA. The LMIA is not obtained in Canada after you arrive. The LMIA must be obtained first BEFORE you can apply for the work permit.

Anyway - as explained above, it's a scam.

They get copies of your documents and use those to either steal your identity or create other fake documents. Also where they ask you to pay a visa fee often that is to somewhere that is not actually either the Embassy or Immigration. Some scammers even produce a fake permit in response, some just take the money and document copies then disappear.

They all rely on the fact that people are desperate to get to Canada and are willing to believe anything. Some of them even create fake websites in the name of real corporations but then make very simple mistakes given they have probably never even been to Canada themselves and rely on fact their targets probably have not either.
