So one can still apply for an extension, even if it's not applied for at least 30 days in advance? For example, status expires on March 31st, application can be sent on March 16th?

I hope someone can help out with this question. If a temporary resident visa holder (be it a visitor or a worker) forgot to apply for an extension and/or change of conditions of his temporary status in Canada, at least 30 days before the expiry of his status, can he still apply for extension...

thaiguy, thanks. I was referring to immigration which is what I thought we were focusing on here. If it's about obtaining employment, I understand what you mean about including personal and professional characteristics.

I don't think whether you call it a COE or LOR matters. For all we know, it could be the same thing. The question is, what detail does the COE you have include? Does it include the details requested by CIC? The details CIC wants is included in the application instructions. If it has that info...

The letter doesn't have to state things about your personal or professional character. It's just a letter that details your duties, job title and such so that CIC can determine if you're a skilled worker under a certain NOC code. The letter should also include a business card or at least be on...

thaiguy, that makes sense. I didn't think of companies that are out of business.

Thanks. I believe reference letters are pretty much required though. To me getting pay stubs together is unreasonable just because my company actually didn't send us pay stubs, they did direct deposit and our pay stubs were stored online in their system. I don't work there anymore so I can't...

PMM, thanks. I'm not talking about religious/charitable workers that don't require a work permit, that's different. I'm referring to those that need a work permit but not an LMO. I know there are 2 separate situations. The one you quoted for me is referring to those who will mainly be preaching...

I just have a random question in trying to understand this classification. According to CIC, these workers don't need an LMO in order to get a work permit. So for example, would World Vision Canada need to submit an LMO for say, an accountant?

To prove one's experience, CIC's checklist asks for a reference letter from all employers and an employment contract (offer letter). I have also noticed on these boards that some people have been asked for more documents, like their W2 and pay stubs. Is this usually asked of everyone or is it a...

Does anyone know if having arranged employment helps one's application in Accra? Does it speed up the PR application like it does in London? Does anyone know someone who had an arranged employment opinion or was already working in Canada under a LMO/work permit who applied to the Accra office?

You don't need proof from every company. Don't you only need proof for the amount of years of work experience you're claiming in order to get points? How many years of work experience are you claiming? if you're claiming experience that includes these companies that do not exist, then yes you'll...

Just go here to figure it out http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/groups/index.shtml

Actually Alberta has even been more than 30 weeks.

thaiguy, i believe he is in London already. His wife is in India.

I personally think that's not the smartest thing to do. Just get someone traveling to take the passport with them. It shouldn't be a huge deal.

I'm just curious how they'd find out if someone takes it out of the country for her and then posts it to CHC London? Or is it CHC London that requires her to come in person?

I have no idea what's wrong with Ontario. I think your company should try to resubmit the LMO application. Make sure they include details of their attempt to hire Canadians. So apart from the advertisements they had for 3 months, did they interview any Canadians? If they did, do they have...

What jobs did not get a positive LMO? I'm just curious. I know someone that got a negative LMO for an IT Consultant position. I'm assuming jobs on the occupations under pressure list for Ontario would get an LMO much easier than those not on the list?
