Which is a better option- study permit or LMIA? Both require investment of money almost same amount but with LMIA we save time and Directly get work permit. But it's also a little sketchy way and we don't gain out of that money. By studying we get a degree/ diploma. What do you guys think? Do you know anyone who succesfully got LMIA
