Fired with CWP, now what can I do?

[Marvin JC]

Hello,

I have a CWP that expires in Feb 2021, the inmigration method my company used was through LMIA, I was fired and now in the searching of a new employer I have a company was wanted hire me but they say they have to create a new work permit to can hire me and that can take from 6 to 8 months and they cannot wait that longer.
I have worked with my company more than 1 year before they fired me.
Now I don't have job and my saves are almost gone so I need to be hired soon or my family and I will have serious problems.

My questions are:

1) What can do in my situation to can be hire in a short period of time (some companies would hire me if the proccess don't take 6 months or more)
2)Is there any chance to can transfer my current CWP to a new employer without the new employer has to go through LMIA (that take 6 months)
3)Can I apply to a OWP or what can I do?

Any help on this is much apreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Without csq, which I assume you don't have yet, LMIA is the only option, unfortunately.

CWP is non transferable.

OWP in Quebec is for spouses of WP holders or pgwp and other similar WP holders.

Thanks for the answer.

If so how much it takes?

Thank you.

Csq at present is taking minimum 5-7 months. You need to have minimum 12 months experience according to old rules.
Edited - Still you would need a wp after csq.

All the best

Yes I have more than 12 months of experience.
Is there any chance to be hired if you apply for CSQ?

I don't think that the goberment let to a normal family (me, wife and son) to leave without any resources, we can't back to our origin country,
should be something that we can do, I don't have enough saves to wait more than 2/3 months.
I am at panic tbh.

Sorry to hear that but you would in any case need a wp. Yours is a dicey situation. I assume you may have 90 days to restore your status. Your csq would also be rejected as you need to be currently employed.
I don't see much hope unfortunately but don't give up as I am not a lawyer. Try contacting Nadia Barrou and seek a consultation. 30 minutes may not cost much. I am not affiliated to her but I have heard she's quite thorough with such stuff.
All the best.
