So, I'm making some travel arrangements for after I complete my degree studies at the end of this summer term, and thought I'd start this thread to help make sure my spouse and I won't run into any problems re-entering Canada. I'm completing my studies this September, but my study permit and my...

I'm quite sure that someone who has a positive LMIA is not eligible for a bridging open work permit. It's either in the main body of the requirements website for that or somewhere in the bottom. The best bet would be to apply for the LMIA based work permit before your PGWP expires and then...

Hello, seniors! I am not so sure if I am eligible for the temporary new pathway stream (essential works). I had an open work permit from 2019 March which expired on 2020 March, as I was issued with International Experience Canada (so-called Working Holidays). I started working as soon as I...

If you want to continue to work you need to apply for a closed work permit using your current LMIA. WP needs to be approved before your pgwp ends to keep working.

Hello all, I just wanted to clarify that if you apply for a work permit extension before your current one expires, will you be under implied status even if the original permit was a PGWP? What I mean to say is that if you apply for a paper based extension and it takes months for them to...
