    Working on implied status - "same conditions"

    Thank you, that does help somewhat. I'm on a closed permit and would be continuing with the same employer, but we are looking to alter the hours and pay outlined in the original letter of offer. Would that be ok?

    Working on implied status - "same conditions"

    When working on implied status, does anyone know exactly is meant by same conditions? Is it the same employer, the same type of work, the same weekly hours, the same wage, all of the above? Is this documented anywhere? Thanks

    PAFSO any update with the strike?

    Just to clarify this is also impacting work permit applications/extensions made from inside Canada too? I've a bad feeling I'm going to be forced to leave when my current permit expires and I'm no longer eligible to earn :(

    I'm currently compiling the documentation required to extend my stay as a worker but am a little unsure about what exactly is meant by the stamped receipt IMM 5401. I have a passport stamped by Canadian immigration when I first entered the country and received my work permit. I have a K21...

    PhD outside of Canada. Meaningless?

    I've seen contrasting information regarding the eligibility criteria for the skilled worker program and the associated need for a job offer. I don't have a job offer, but do have a PhD (albeit obtained in the UK). Come Sept 2013 I will have completed a year's work experience in Canada as a...

    Options after Temp Work Permit expiration?

    I'm from the UK and have a Temp Work Permit allowing me to work in Canada for 12 months. I've been working for 7 months of that, so have 5 months until it expires. Since my work (and therefore permit) are unlikely to be up for renewal at the end of the 12 months, and as I have no other job offer...
