This site was referenced by a work colleague that is also a labor certificate applicant. I have found reading the threads to be intriguing yet very frustrating at times, for it has been over 4 years since I applied for my labor certificate. I have been very skeptical in making career changes for fear that I would have to reapply or a new employer would not be willing to sponsor my application…it is a very difficult situation. At the same time, I can identify and am empathetic with workload and operations of the labor board - I was employed by Canadian customs for 8 years.
This is my first time submitting a response on this thread and therefore I will keep my comments and concerns to a minimum. Most important, does anyone have any recommendations on the measures that can be taken to obtain the status of my labor certificate? The response that was received by both my employer and I is that status updates are not given after the 45 day notification is issued. Sixteen months have elapsed since a 45 day notification was received. Judging from the recent approvals I fear that my application may be lost or misplaced….should I be concerned?
Also, is the registry information that I have provided correct/adequate
Thank you,
