    @Onemoretime - thank you very much! I assumed there would be a problem with my timeline, because I entered Canada as a visitor (got my stamp for a 6 month stay) and we signed a lease, but then I got a job, applied for a permit, went back to Poland for 2 weeks, got the permit, came back, and...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    I will, thanks! And with the TRV/visitor status, I am trying to understand that, that is why I am asking all those annoying questions ;) But I reckon that the 'extend your stay as a temporary resident' is what I should try, and I'll see what CIC tells me. I know someone who, being in a...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    well, if my employer refuses to go through with the new requirements for permit extensions,I guess I will want to stay in Canada as a visitor/temporary resident, so the application 'extend your stay as a visitor or temporary resident' applies, right? And as for the exemption, that's true, but...

    Hey, thanks for that, but I don't think I qualify for IEC and I don;t want to take my chances because there are limits there, not to mention the fact that they advertise that sometime in the winter, and I will need to apply in August. So it's either 'extend your stay as a visitor or temporary...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    Thank you! with the online tool, it's currently unavailable, but anyways I;m not sure what to say with 'what do you want to do in Canada', is it 'move there' and ten 'for more than 6 months', or is it 'visit' and then also for more than 6 months? I used the visit option before, and it told me...

    Hi everyone! I'm a Polish citizen, living in Canada now on a work permit. My employer might not wish to extend it, so I am looking for a way to extend my stay - I live with my partner and I don;t want to leave, we also want to apply for PR later (in November, probably). Did anyone have a...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    Ok, I have one more question. I am now a temporary resident, but a worker, on a work permit. I have been in Canada for almost a year, and will be applying for an extension of my stay after a year. Are you all sure I need to apply for 'Extend your stay as a temporary resident' and not a visitor...

    status confusion - help!

    Yes, thank you! But I still need to apply for something, right? This 'extend your stay' application?

    status confusion - help!

    Ok, that sounds good anyway, even if they give me just 6 months we will definitely submit our PR during that time... Thank you very much for all your help, I'll keep browsing the forum anyway :)

    status confusion - help!

    Exactly, thank you for the clarification! Ok, so now I know which application to use, if my employer does not decide to cover my fee and the forms, sigh. I might try to apply for more than 6 months, but I wonder, did anyone have any experience with CIC refusing the 12 months and giving, say, 6...

    status confusion - help!

    Ok, so the TRV is my option "extend your stay as a temporary resident", then? Can I apply for more than 6 months? I want PR!! :) I have a wonderful relationship and want to keep on living together, but my permit ends in September, and we can start applying for PR in November at the earliest...

    status confusion - help!

    ok, that's a good tip, thanks! Just to clarify, though - what's the difference between this TRV - Temporary Resident Visa, and a Visitor visa? where can I apply for the TRV? Is that the "Extend your stay as a temporary resident" application?

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    Ok, so I'll attach it in the extra documents, and I think I'll let them know that I am working on a book, because what else can I write in it? I'll tell them the truth, which is that I want to continue my relationship, because I love him, because it works, and because we want to submit an...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    OK! :) And the second one, the one I use to explain why I want to extend my stay - is that going to go into the additional documents then? Because I don't see any required documents like that. And: do you think I can tell them I am also working on a book (which is why I have the grant etc)...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    Ok, so to confirm: I am to submit a letter explaining I do not have a return ticket yet, and no itinerary because I am staying with my partner, and then another one? Or the information that we want to apply for PR for me that year I am applying to extend my stay in should go onto the same letter...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    Ok, thank you for that, then, I'll try applying for a year and see what they give me... thanks for the tip with the letter, I suppose that could do it, after all, the checklist says it's not mandatory, weird. Do you think my letter should also include some kind of statement that we want to apply...

    From a work permit to visitor status?

    I asked about 6 months because the CIC eligibility 'test' has options I want to stay/work in Canada for more or less than 6 months - but if there is no limit, I'll try applying for a year. If they refuse, is there a rule somewhere that I cannot reapply? for less or again? (how many times can one...
