Thank you! So my work would need to give a week by week accounting of every week from the time I started the position? That's going to make me popular with the payroll manager :o ;D

I have had a permanent position within the same organisation since July 2014. At first I was part time (19hrs/week) with the ability to take on extra shifts. Some weeks I have worked 30+hrs. From April - September 2015 I took on a temporary full time position (40 hrs/week). I will go back to the...

Oh hang on, I think this was just added "persons who are giving their time to community or religious organizations in a position which would not represent a real employment opportunity for Canadians or permanent residents. (Such work would entail a requirement to be part of, or share the...

I am full time. It states work of a charitable OR religious nature This part indicated I could be paid a wage. "A charitable worker is usually taking a full-time position in an activity that meets the definition of ”work” in that it is a competitive activity or wages are paid"

Hi! Decided to ask this here as it has been impossible to get through to CIC recently.. I am here on a PGWP. Depending on how things work out I may try to apply for another work permit as a charitable worker. I am currently a resident support worker working overnights at a homeless shelter. In...

I'm new on this sub topic (only been on CEC before) fairly new to using this forum and it's in tiny, tiny writing. Cut me some slack.

Hey folks. Anyone know where one can find stats/info on the average time it takes for outland applicants who are British citizens to receive a decision? Trying to make a choice between the two options.

This clearly states that existing employers can apply for an LMIA. http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Opinion+immigration+rules+threaten+Canada+competitiveness/10858777/story.html#ixzz3TOQj4de5.

Is this with an LMIA?

I think this is my first option. It's hard enough to find an employer in social services who's willing to spend $1000 on an LMIA. Finding a NOC A job as a social worker that is permanent is not something I'm optimistic about. Better luck for those in the for-profit sector.

Please could someone offer advice... I came to Canada from the UK in March 2011 on an IEC permit. I decided to study here and began studies in September 2011 on a bachelors of social work. I received a 3 year post grad work permit in Nov 2013 and have been in work in a social service occupation...

But I can also work parttime with say 24 hrs per week and qualify in around 1.5 years right?

I'm going to ask my work to do an LMIA for me and I feel hopeful that they will.

Oh ok, I was told that I can't apply earlier if I've accumulated the 1560 hours in less than a year. I'm on my way to completing this (currently at 1200 hrs) after working approx 24 hours/week permanent part time (with additional extra shifts that Ive taken on). My PGWP was issued in Nov 2013...

I getcha, I was just surprised and a bit incredulous that I have no choice - government immigration websites seem to imply otherwise. Also, immigration is super stressful and sometimes its hard to get ahold of all the different strands of information. As I'm sure we all know. Cheers!

So its arbitrarily chosen for me? Regarding the hours - what is the minimum amount of hours I need for either?

So it is better to apply for an invitation with CEC and with a LMIA in a 30 hr/week full time job?

I'm not outside Canada, I have been working here on a 3-year post graduate work permit since June 2014. My job will become full time (either 32 hours or 40 hours, I have a choice) and permanent soon, so my question was related to which amount of hours would be better to apply for PR (either CEC...

Thanks for your answer! To do this will I need to be in a full time job that's a minimum of 30 hours/week or 37.5 hours/week? I hear different things from different sources, official and otherwise!

Ok thanks. I think I will apply under CEC. An immigration lawyer told me that to apply under this category it is essential to have an LMIA and be in a full time job while the application is processed. I wi have completed my 1560 hours for CEC in a few months. The LMIA site says it has to be...
