Dear Sir(s),

With regards, I applied for a new work permit with a new employer on Dec, 7th, 2011 and mentioned my new employer has applied for one, but has not yet received it. My new employer applied for positive LMO on Nov, 9th and received a file number from HRSDC on Dec, 13th. Today my new employer call HRSDC and they declared they are still working on the October files this means more than a month they need to issue the positive LMO. Now my questions:
1) What will happen if CIC reach to the decision point on my application (probably last week of January 2012) and still I don’t receive the positive LMO?
2) Now I have my HRSDC file number. How can I send it to CIC-Vegreville? Is it possible to ask them to hold my application till I get my positive LMO?

I have to mention that my current work permit expired on Dec, 10th.

Thank you,
Sohrab.

If an application requires a LMO Confirmation, evidence of approval would typically be required at the time of the decision making in order for the case to be approved. In the absence of such, it would be expected that such an application would be refused.

As a general rule, Vegreville does not accept unsolicited communications by fax or phone. You can try sending in a written communication referencing a file number requesting an update of the case with the file number; there is no guarantee that would be accepted. It is unlikely that a case would be held until a positive LMO decision is rendered.
