Deloitte Canada LMIA/work permit visa process - Hi all , I have accepted a role at Deloitte CA and wanted to know what the process/ timelines are for lmia and visa process? I work at a non- US Deloitte member firm and also have a valid visitor visa for Canada. Does holding a temporary visitor visa help in terms of visa processing / timeline? Also do they cancel your visitor visa when they issue a work permit visa? Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!

Actual visa processing time will remain the same on the IRCC end. Your application process speeds up a bit as you don't need to give biometrics again. Existing visa will have no impact on processing.

LIMA is usually 30-40 days
Work permit app: check processing times in your country/consulate. Can vary wildly from a week to several months.

You would ideally be allowed to hold only one type of visa at a time.

For a brief period I believe folks on visitor permit with job offers were allowed to apply for work permit without leaving the country. (Please double check this, if this is still an option)

Thanks!

Took about 3.5 months from lawyer reaching out to getting the visa

Applied via the website, had multiple rounds of interviews, which were:
1- video recorded interview to Pre set questions
2- HR screening call
3- Technical case study ( FA service line)
4- Partner interview
5- Head of service line interview

Overall the process took about 2-3 months . One thing I would say is to identify your niche and skills set and how you can add value to your service line / function. Good luck!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
