I am working as a Data Analyst / Geophysicist currently on PGWP which expires in Jan 2024. My current employer is not supporting me for LMIA or further work permits. I am getting an offer from a gas station for a cashier job in a small town and they are willing to provide LMIA/PR support. Since my visa is expiring 3 months I do not have any other option and I am thinking to choose the gas station job so I can get my further work permits and apply for PNP and PR as well.
Is it possible to get an LMIA for Gas station cashier job if I have a total different background previously???

If you get LMIA and your work permit is expiring, then you apply for a closed work permit. A LMIA is approved when the employer proves no one in Canada, Canadian or PR can do the job, only you. You have to show that you are experienced to do the job so yes your work permit can be declined.
