My employer says that have applied for lmia on 24th April and yet it's not approved on September 26th they updated me saying your application has been reviewed and once the names added to it you can apply for work permit and next update I received was on 30th October saying that they have received email requests for applications of cook
Can anyone help me out does approval of lmia takes so many months it's more than six months now
Strangely, the Fairmont person and the consultancy seem to be real. You have paid a lot for consultancy services - you've essentially "bought" an LMIA, which should be illegal but in your case isn't, since you've paid a consultant. That's a shame, and Ann Arbour consultancy should be ashamed of itself.
I would still be concerned you've been scammed. You can find Jessica's email address here: http://www.alljobs.ca/job/third-cook/282956 Email her and ask her the status of the LMIA.
See this genuine advert for a cook position where it clearly implies must be authorised to work in Canada and Fairmont will not assist in obtaining a permit.
