Hi Guys,

Any idea on the processing time for work permits if applied for outside of the Country? (Pretoria specifically)

Thanks,
G

Only the employer can obtain the LMO, but if the job offer and the LMO is in your possession you can get on a plane(s) and obtain your work permit at the POE. Otherwise you can go through the application process and wait for your permission to be sent to you.
Good Luck.

Yep - Employer is applying for the LMO in Canada. My issue though that I'm concerned about is that as I am a South African passport holder I need a visa to enter the country, so I'm just not 100% sure if I can get my work permit at POE. Not sure if I should chance it. What do you think?

If it was me I would obtain your visa first. Hopefully, if you have the LMO/Job Offer, the visa will be processed quickly. If you need any assistance in settling in Toronto please let me know. I have lived, on and off, in the city environe for 47 years now.
Much Good Luck.
