This is what I got from immigration lawyer: You can apply to change LIC employers and this would probably be granted. You can always apply to make other changes such as live out caregiver that they may grant, or another job but they may not grant the work permit. This is the answer from...

I do not think it should stop you from immigrating though. Your institute might have transformed and has a different name now. Do you have any friends back in Russia? Try to contact your co-students or something. I have never heard about Uni being vanished. Most of the time the...

Thanx for info. It is been almost 10 months now in my case, NOC- bookkeeper. My immigration officer said it goes smooth and I should not worry, just be patient. But nobody can give exact info: what stage it is on, even approximately. It is frustrating waiting in limbo..

Anyone has an experience communicating with Canadian Security and Intelligence office on the matter of background check: timeframes, stages etc?

From my own experience: DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU! Make sure you have all your papers , you work legally and so on. You do not need troubles with your paperwork. Even if your current employer says that on the paper it will look like you worked for one employer. They are canadians, and they will...

When you discuss it with your employer keep in mind that it takes now about 7-8 months to get an open work permit (Vegreville, Alberta). Check processing time where you will apply. Good luck!

Anyone knows if live-in caregiver allowed to spend weekends outside the employer's house? Is being away on weekedns a big issue?

Theoretically i think we can try to find another job, but it would probably be hard to get LMO and another work permit (while waiting for an OWP). LMO might take same 6-8 months to issue. Vacation or unemployment could be an option. But you have to be very careful. I contacted immigration...

As I was told: if you apply at least 30 days before your work permit is expired you are fine. My work permit was till September 1. I applied for a extension of the work permit for the same employer in spring so I could get it before September 1st. I worried but it arrived a couple of weeks...
