here on CIC website.Thanks for replyingbut my lawyer is making me scared thet my OBWP will not get approved.
My Permit is expiring on 10th Dec.
I have ITA but not the medical yet.
I mean, I may get all the documents ready and submit it before 10th Dec and if gets AOR within 24 hours , can apply for OBWP.
But my lawyer is saying there are less chances of getting OBWP approved and she is pushing me in the LMIA process.
I just don't know what to do in either case.
Do you have any suggestion please
