    Just found out we can't extend my common-law partner's work permit. HELP!

    Oh, I didn't know you were only allowed two categories... But yes, that's what it means :( Yes, I'm going through Paris... Sent my application to Mississauga in July. Also on a young professional permit right now, and also in a common-law relationship... So I guess our situation is very similar!!

    Just found out we can't extend my common-law partner's work permit. HELP!

    Yes, she would be allowed to do the internship; there's 4 categories under the international experience program: working holiday, young professional, internship and summer job... And you can do all of them. For the last two though, like as I said in my previous post you have to be a student...

    Just found out we can't extend my common-law partner's work permit. HELP!

    She can do an internship under the Canada France agreement (International experience program)... But one of the eligibility criteria is that she has to be enrolled in an educational institution or training centre at the moment (which I'm guessing isn't the case?).

    Just found out we can't extend my common-law partner's work permit. HELP!

    She doesn't need a green card; she needs to apply through ETSA to get a travel authorization. Once she has it it is good for two years.

    Just found out we can't extend my common-law partner's work permit. HELP!

    Hey Gatherroses, I'm in the same situation as your partner. Common-law, and on the same type of work permit; 18 months is the maximum. The reason why they say you can extend it is that very often people get six month or one year work permits. You say she's on the young professional permit -...
