I left Canada 4 months ago, after 7 years on a combination of study, work and visitor record permits, because I still hadn't crossed the CRS threshold, and was unable to secure work at the expiration of my last work permit. I haven't established myself back in the US yet, and all my banking, etc...

for sure. so if i were being honest in that i have been trying for PR, if I overstayed looking for work, got an offer and applied to restore my status as a worker with the new job offer, WITHIN m 90 day window, is that any different or better? it seems so much of the info from CIC suggests this...

I'm in BC. The majority of my work here constitutes PT, as I've worked in the non-profit arts sector. When tallied, it's more than enough tpo have qualified for EE, but because of age factors, foreign work not counting, my job offer last year not being counted when I updated my profile for...

Yesah, it seems advisable to not disclose you're looking for work coming in as a visitor, but I wonder about being honest with the in my case; my work permit is about to expire and my employer said they would not be able to renew my contract, so I'm applying to change my condition to visitor...

or do i even need to bother explaining and just stick with tourism?

I've been in Canada since 2012, first on a study permit, then a PGWP, and following the expiry of that, another year on a NAFTA permit that expires in a week. My employer has chosen not to extend my contract, so I won't be extending my work permit obviously. I had an EE profile in, but was...

Thanks, that makes sense. I was thinking this was going to be the answer, just was wondering if restoring my status with a new work permit was something that they might process the same as if your status expired and was being changed from work to student, or as a basic extension of a work...

So my NAFTA permit is set to expire next week as my employer decided to eliminate my position at the end of the contract. I've been in Canada legally for a long time, so I'm not quite ready to go, and still hope to boost my CRS to qualify for an ITA. My thoughts were, after reading, briefly...

that's what I expected, but was just a thought that popped into my head as I scramble to deal with this mess of a situation.

I was working on a PGWP. When it was set to expire my employer offered me new contract and I applied for / received a 1 year NAFTA permit (NOC 5241). My employer was randomly audited and Service Canada found some discrepancies, and while a case for those was made, my employer is anticipating a...

oh, absolutely. the change in hours was temporary due to some restructuring, and has been corrected since. My note is that those 50 points were never awarded and would have boosted me into a likely ITA months ago, and now I'm in a compromised position where I may not be able to extend my current...

also, doesn't an open permit mean you're ineligible for a valid job offer?

No, I was on a PGWP BEFORE and ran into the problem, and so in April of 2018 obtained an LMIA Exempt CLOSED permit and 1 year job offer. That permit is set to expire soon, and I'm not sure I will be able to get that permit extended. The 50 pts were NOT awarded at the time of updating my EE...

Roughly a year ago, I entered the EE pool, but did not reach the CRS threshold before my PGWP was set to expire. My employer, who I'd been with the entire duration of my PGWP although only PT, gave me a LMIA EXEMPT job offer (our non-profit organization is too small and specialized to obtain an...

In a similar boat, and of course neither the BC PNP or IRCC have been much help, so if anyone here could, it'd be much appreciated. My PGWP expires in a week. I submitted by EE profile, but don't have enough CRS points to receive ITA, so registered for a PNP, which should get an ITA at the next...

This is where I was staking my appeal, but not sure how to go about doin so, especially for the next draw: "For example, an LMIA exempt work permit may qualify you for additional points for a job offer under express entry if your work permit is: exempt for “Canadian interests” reasons...

Seems weird to me. I went over all this with a consultant before, we did all the math, etc. And still doesn't make sense that I'm not getting points for my Canadian education. This whole process could use more human eyes, really. I've done other immigration applications before, which were...

But how does that accommodate a PGWP? They are specifically open permits, so that doesn't make sense to me that an offer by the sme employer for a renewal of the position I've been at for 3 years doesn't qualify. This is mind boggling.

Hmm. On the IRCC calculator site, I specifically noted there was no LMIA; and from my research, my job is exempt, as it pertains to the cultural field (I'm an associate director / curator for an art gallery / public institution, as well as an exhibiting artist). With an application, all of this...
