    Can I work?

    CBSA stands for Canada Border Services Agency...they are the 'men in black' .. the ones that came to us with the deport papers :o LOL If you apply outland, NO you cannot apply for a work permit in Canada and in all honesty, I know nothing about outland apps. With inland, if you send in your...

    Can I work?

    I was thinking something along the same line. You might have a problem getting back into Canada as a visitor though because of your letter but if you do and apply outland from within Canada...the worst case would be if you were called for an interview nearing the end of your application, you'd...

    Can I work?

    AIP is approved in prinicpal. What that means is when CIC receives your application they first approve your sponsor... you get AIP which allows for you to get a work permit and health care while you wait for the 2nd stage to go through... Have you applied for Permanent residency or do you even...

    think I " F'ed up "

    You have nothing to worry about. CIC doesn't care about overstay if you are married. You overstayed because you are married. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2005/0504-e.asp Just file your application pronto!! You are allowed to stay in Canada for the duration of your...

    Work Permit Extension while waiting for PR

    Okay, so here is what I would probably do... Apply for an extension on your work permit. This is supposed to be done 30 days before it expires...so you are doing it 5 months before your 30 days, but it takes 3 months to be approved and you are just 'getting all your ducks in a row' On the...

    Work Permit Extension while waiting for PR

    Is it an open work permit??? If you got AIP in June, then you should be getting PR any time now. You could go ahead and apply for a WP extension online, currently its about a 3 month wait, but at least you have something to show your employer to prove that you intend to stay and work there...
