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

    That's what we decided. :) If LMO doesn't work, we'll be in a rough position. I just started my second degree, and I will have a hard time going to Asia or something for awhile while we wait (plus, can we even do that??).

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

    We should stay in touch!!! =) I think we'll have ours sent off by early next week at the latest. I think we might do Paris. Ah man... this is difficult. For a second, I thought I had a solution with the internship visa! I am going to keep looking, though!

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

    =( I just found this on the website. "Please note that you can participate twice in the International Experience Canada (IEC) initiative. However, the stays must fall under two different categories." Does this mean that she can only do two of the four categories? Sorry if that seems obvious. The...

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

    Wow, thank-you so much, everyone!!! We're going to look into registering her as a student, and then getting the internship visa. Maybe her work would even hire her as an intern in January, but pay her the same amount... So, you're allowed to do all the international experience categories more...

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

    Thank-you so much for the reply! Unfortunately, all of the spots on the Canada-France agreement are full... And, she has done the working holiday visa and the young professionals visa now. So, she's not allowed to do the internship... or, at least, that was my understanding. She could be...

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

    Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your support. We're having a little freak-out right now. It feels like our lives have been turned up side down due to the failure of the site to provide clarity, and our inability to find resources on this particular visa. Her employers are probably willing to...

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

    Thank-you so much, everyone.. Any more tips would be appreciated. Looks like we'll have a long road ahead of us. You'll be seeing a lot more of me on these forms! Do any of you have experience getting LMOs? She works at a recording studio. They previously failed to get an LMO for an America...

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

    Oh, she has also done the Working Holiday visa already. I don't think she can do anything else with the Canada-France agreement, right? And, she's a French citizen with an EU passport. =) The green card she needs doesn't count as a visa?

    LMO question...My partner's Young Professional visa can't be extended... help!!!

    Hi everyone, Due to some tricky wording on the Government of Canada's website, my partner thought she could extend her visa by 18 months. In actuality, the longest she could have the visa for was 18 months. I have a few questions about LMOs. She has been working at her current job for over a...

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

    Thank-you everyone for your helpful replies. We're being sent in circles by everyone... including lawyers and immigration advisors. Thanks for your prompt replies! As for the visas, that is really helpful information... She needs a $14 green card to get into the States. Does that count as a...

    So, I think my partner is about to have her visa expire!!! :o We haven't sent in the common-law paperwork because we thought that she had 18 additional months in Canada! The FAQ says this: I am in Canada with a work permit under the Young Professionals category (or Professional Development)...
