Do you know if it is possible to get a work permit for longer than the job position? Thanks

Just spoke to someone else at CIC and it's not how long he works, it's how long his permit is valid for Does anyone therefore have experience with whether it is possible to be given a 6 month work permit if the position is for 3 1/2 months, or is it strictly for the time of employment? Thanks...

Thanks. He is definitely a skilled worker (code 212 Biologist) - when I spoke to the CIC they said the 6 month position was not necessary, so the website is a little confusing. I'm not sure whether he needs to have the position for 6 months (i.e. ALL of those criteria need to be filled) or the...

Hi, I cannot find the police certificate in the required documents. Is this still required? I am hoping to apply in Jan (I am from the UK) but I am currently in the US so this is going to be tricky Thanks
