加拿大10月28日取消工签同步审理90天上限：移民官须等LMIA结果才作决定
加拿大渥太华10月28日，加拿大移民、难民及公民部（IRCC）更新审理指引，取消临时外国工人计划工签同步审理的90天等待上限。符合条件的境内工人，其雇主的劳动力市场影响评估（LMIA）未有结果之前，移民官不得就其工签申请作决定，也不再仅因等待过久而拒签。新指引即日生效，与在加拿大工作、申请工签续期的华人雇工直接相关。
同步审理适用于身在加拿大境内的工人：现有工签在两周内到期，且雇主已提前合理时间提交LMIA申请，使加拿大就业与社会发展部本有合理时间在工签到期前处理。在现有工签到期前递交合规延期申请的工人，通常可凭「维持身份」按原工签条件继续工作，直到新申请有结果。
这一等待上限今年8月21日才刚由60天延至90天，此次彻底取消。指引更新后，工签申请的进度与LMIA审理进度绑定，雇主提交LMIA的时机是否留足处理时间，成为个案能否适用同步审理的关键。
需要注意的是，本次取消90天上限针对的是临时外国工人计划的工签同步审理，与11月3日起快速通道高薪职业加分不再强制要求LMIA是两项不同安排，不可混淆。同日在加拿大生效的，还有针对收费移民及入籍顾问的新罚则。

Canada Scraps 90-Day Cap on Work Permits Awaiting LMIA Decisions, Effective October 28
Ottawa, Canada, October 28 — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated its processing instructions and scrapped the 90-day cap on concurrent processing of work permits under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. For eligible in-Canada workers, officers must now wait for a decision on the employer's Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before deciding the work permit application, and may no longer refuse it simply because the wait has run long. The change took effect the same day and directly affects foreign workers in Canada, including Chinese workers renewing their permits.
Concurrent processing applies to workers already in Canada whose existing permit expires within two weeks and whose employer submitted the LMIA application with enough lead time that Employment and Social Development Canada could reasonably have processed it before the permit expired. Workers who file a compliant extension application before their current permit expires generally keep maintained status and may keep working under the conditions of their existing permit until a decision is made.
The waiting cap had only just been raised from 60 days to 90 days on August 21, 2026; it has now been removed entirely.
The change is separate from the Express Entry change taking effect November 3, under which LMIA job offers will no longer be mandatory for extra points in high-wage occupations, and separate from the new penalties for paid immigration and citizenship representatives that also took effect in Canada on October 28.
