CSQ + visitor record status

[komostati]

Hi. I'm expected to get my CSQ soon but I have a visitor record status. If I find an emloyer, do I obtain that closed work permit?

PS: I have visitor record because my study permit expired and I'm not eligible for another PGWP.

An answer is greatly appreciated. Thank you

you can only get closed work permit if you have approved LMIA otherwise not ,you have visitor extension for how long? did you get for 6 months or more?

 

[meenaraja]

I'll answer my question in case someone else in this situation . I can't apply to closed work permit exepmt 75 with a visitor record. I need some sort of work permit which I don't have.

Hi, You current status is visitor record and you do not get CSQ yet, if you applied and or used PGWP before and its expired, you may not able to obtain closed work permit. the closed work permit need your potential employer to support you do some paper works, and not many of them willing to do that.

my opinion, 1. find a employer willing to help you 2. stay in canada until you visit record expires
but, since you could not legally work or study(with you CSQ longer than 6 months), you may try wait back to your home country, just like me lol.

so if we get csq and we applied for federal and we can go back to our country then there we can change our address ? and it will not effect our file or time change problem?

hi
I'm in the same situation as like as you. I'm currently in Quebec with a visitor permit, waiting for csq. So, as you said it's not possible to obtain a close work permit? Because my lawyer was taking about IMP, which I don't have any information about that. But he mentioned that there is a high chance to get a close work permit!!

I seeing this post now. Yes with your CSQ if you found a job offer you can apply for a job with an LMIA exception. Your employer needs to complete the form A75 and pay a fee of CAD$230 to give you a closed work permit valid for 2 years. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/quebec-cases/labour-market-impact-assessment-exempt-work-permit-renewals-extensions-certain-quebec-selection-holders.html

In case PGWP was expired and a person resides in Quebec with a visitor permit, would not be included A75 exemption to obtain CWP?

that person is included only if he/she has a CSQ and is waiting for PR from the federal

I thought we cannot leave the country once we are in federal stage. Atleast not for more than 21 days.

Thanks for the response. Waiting for the PR? you mean just applying for the PR is enough, or I should get AOR?
