Hi There,
Hoping this forum might be able to offer me some help on how to proceed from here as I'm growing desperate!
Here's a brief summary of my situation:
I was working in Vancouver for a company that also had a branch in PEI, and when I told them my IEC Visa was due to expire on May 28th they offered me a role in their PEI office in a NOC B profession and told me that I would be able to apply for PR under the PEI PNP SKILLED WORKER stream.
I was told by my workplace that the NOC B role I have been working in is LMIA exempt as the office has had the role advertised constantly for the past 2 years.
Prior to my WP expiring I applied for an extension so that I could continue working until I was offered an invitation by the province.
My WP Extension request was declined on Aug 9th, due to my workplace having not completed an LMIA.
I was invited to apply to the PEI PNP SKILLED WORKED Stream on Aug 19th, but you cannot submit an application unless you hold a valid status.
I want to restore my status so that I can submit an application through to the PEI PNP but am unsure if the fact I've now been invited to apply will be sufficient grounds to restore my previous status.
I'm also nervous that if my restoration of status is refused, that I'll be forced to leave the country.
I've tried emailing and calling immigration canada to get advice or help but was told all support workers have been redirected to processing Afghani visa's.
I'm stressed and desperate and don't want to be kicked out of this beautiful country. Please HELP!!
