Hello ! I just finally submitted my application for Permanent Residence via Entry Express (hourray). I currently reside in Canada (Ontario) and I am still waiting for an employer-specific work visa that I applied for 4 months ago (through Francophone mobily). I am very eager to not be in...

If I understand correctly, if pending permit A is refused you would have to stop working but you can still stay until pending permit B is approved/denied. But don't take my words for it. I had a brief discussion with an immigration lawyer who told me it had been done in the past but it's not...

I am actually in the same situation. I just submitted my PR application, I want to apply for BOWP but I am still waiting for the approval of my employer-specific permit that I applied for end of December. I am in maintained status and very eager to get out of it. From what I understand there 4...

Thanks so much for your reply. Maybe I should prioritise finding a full time job. Is there any risk in flying home for Christmas and come back in January as a visitor (provided I resign beforehand) ? It would buy me 6 extra months to find a full-time position. And when I do, I'll go...

It is part-time. Which is probably why the officer thought it was better for me to have an open work visa. But why would he advise me to apply for the extension if they are not an option? Maybe there is an exception to that?

OK thank you for your reply. Is there a risk in re-trying the flagpole again? The officer did tell me that if he marked my application "denied" I would have to leave Canada within 2 days so he marked "request for info" instead.

Hi, I am a Belgian citizen living in Toronto, I work part-time for a french-speaking school, currently under a working-holiday visa which is going to expire in January. In October, I naively wrote a letter to IRCC asking if they could extend the validity of my working-holiday visa on the basis...

Yeah I know but I am an artist as well (I do many things) ! And anyway, even if the application is rejected in like 3 years, that will buy me time to increase my CRS score in the meantime. Well at least that what I thought.

Mhh. I see. Maybe I could increase my score slightly by taking a IETLS test for second language but I doubt it will get me to 500... Also my work permit expires in 2 months so I probably won't have time to wait for the AOR. Well I am mostly also a computer programmer and I do a lot of cultural...

Thank you all for your very valuable feedback! My noc is 4031 and my CRS score is only 444 because I'm not currently employed full-time (and not really wanting to). So yeah, not really counting on it... Well my idea was to use the Self-Employed application to be eligible to apply for an...

Well I have only created my Express Entry profile at this point. But I could probably apply for the Self-employed Persons Program.

Thank you for clearing that out! Now if I also applied for permanent residence, I would qualify for an open work permit? Thank you!

Hello, Thanks for your answer! So Temporary Resident Visas have nothing to do with Temporary Resident Permits?

Hi, I'm in the process of applying for a temporary work visa under the Francophone Mobility in order to extend my current Working Holiday Visa. My employer has already given me the number so I just have to fill the form. I would like to apply for an open work permit but I am not sure I can. On...
