I may be totally wrong on this, but you should check to see if you can get it all done at the border. I am from New Zealand, (and so do not need a visa to visit Canada) and once I received my positive LMO I gathered all my documents and flag-poled at the border. I got my WP on the spot instead...

I did the same but in opposite order, I got WP first and am just about to submit my outland PR application. Do you already have a employer willing to get you an LMO? Some of the others may be able to advise about dual intent, but I am not sure how to get around the condition for work permits...

For anyone waiting for CIC to update their processing times... I just got my same employer WP extension approved. It was received April 24 and approved May 24th, valid for two years. So relieved! Now I can submit my PR application and get in on that waiting game. FYI the website still says...

To get back into Canada you must be eligible. If your work permit and visa are both expired then you will be taking a risk leaving the country. What are your plans for staying in Canada? Are you waiting on another work permit which has already been applied for? If you are then do not leave the...

Hey, In response to your other questions, yes I paid the $150 WP fee at the border, and then later on I was able to phone immigration and get a refund of the $275 that I had previously paid online for my restoration to visitor status which was never sent in. If I was in your situation I would...

From what I gathered from the application process and document checklist this is only required for the sponsor, not the principle applicant for PR. The reason is they want to make sure you are not receiving any benefits or assistance from the government (with exceptions for disability etc) as...

I am a Kiwi! Will be submitting to Aus in the next month hopefully. Just waiting on current work permit to be processed anyday now so I can include it in app. Will update timeline once I get it all together. Good luck.

Another option for you is to apply out-land via Buffalo instead of your home country. There are pros to this option even if the processing times are relatively similar. Firstly, if you are called to an interview it is (depending where in Canada you are) cheaper and quicker to get to Buffalo. I...

Hey, Have you looked into the Working Holiday Program for NZers? canadainternational.gc.ca/new_zealand-nouvelle_zelande/experience_canada_experience/index.aspx?view=d If you are under 30 (I think) then you get one year straight up. I think the cost is about $200 and it will take a few...

I have flagpoled twice. The first time I had been out of status for over seven months (immigration consultant never sent in paperwork which she said she had and I thought it was just taking forever to be processed - as per processing times on cic website). I had just received a positive LMO for...

Hi Goldbank, No the LMO itself will expire in November (already sent in WP application), but it allows a two year work permit, so I will not have to go through this whole process again next year. Hopefully by then I will have PR anyway.

Hey guys, Just to give you an update on processing times, I got my LMO approved today. The application was received on March 8, they phoned my employer this morning and approved on the phone. I have already received the email and it is for two years. (YAY!). Good luck!
