It must be a really hard being on your own we really feel for you, could you not reach out to NS provincial immigration to try to help your extension application worth a go. My wife has nearly gone back to the uk a few times, she said if she goes back she won’t be coming back to Canada. It’s been really tough financially, we are living on a very tight budget we don’t have big outgoings but even so my wages don’t even cover our outgoings. We are living on our savings, which was going to buy us a house. That’s no longer going to happen... we are just desperate for PR to come through so she can work and we can pick ourselves back up. I totally understand how you must feel, it’s so hard on everybody. Unfortunately this is the ugly side of immigration, it has a impact on your family’s happiness.It's a tricky rule isn't it, it makes less sense cos typically speaking NOC C would be earning less than NOC 0,A,B so there's a greater need for a second income... Not saying that its either of our cases, but it really seems contradictory to me! How have you managed to keep your wife in the country? I'm in the same predicament, I'm NOC C too. My fiancé was here on an IEC working holiday permit (like me), but it expired in Jan so he got a visitor record til April 1st. The fact that he had to quit his job in Nova Scotia because my NOC wouldn't support him to get a new work permit is, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous. It's like one step forward for me is three steps back for him, it's just a good job that his workplace can't get the staff either so his boss said he's welcome back with open arms once he gets his PR. He's having to fly back to England on March 31st, and I still haven't got my new work permit yet (applied for it in December, been on implied status but unable to work since January), we're not sure how else we could keep him in the country. I'd much rather he was here with me, even without him working. It's just going to be terribly lonely not working and not having my fiancé around, especially during this nerve-wracking process.
This noc C issue needs to be addressed, My wife has used her time learning about immigration and has reached out to provincial immigration for meetings to address this stupid rule on noc C. They have met a few times to discuss certain things and they do agree it needs to be addressed I don’t understand why your WP extension is taking so long it’s crazy. I really hope you get sorted ASAP, we are frantically waiting for our PPR to come through still. Keep us updated.
