Good luck with all. I want to say that you are way ahead of the game in having spousal sponsership. It is inconvenient and costly not to be able to work, but it is just a matter of time. Also check professions as I think there are a few fast track professions (mostly medical field) which might...

THANKS! I have asked my MP to check into this. There is also the question of Implied Status - does it apply or not in this situation. Also on the website here (where I discovered this status) there is conflicting info about whether or not one has to have a new LMO application in process in...

I just found out that I might be eligible for this, but there are many contradictory aspects written in the CIC description of eligibility. Does anyone have a clue about this? . "You currently work in Canada on a temporary work permit, and: your work permit is valid both when you apply and...

Thanks. Anyone else here working under NAFTA? I am trying to find out more about the General Rules governing this category, as in can my wife get an open work permit under my closed NAFTA? Any info or sharing much appreciated. Thanks again for your reply.

Anyone here working under NAFTA agreement? I am wondering if I can use my NAFTA hours on my PR app.?

I personally know of two couples who've had a fairly easy time of it with the Canadian partner sponsoring. In one case the partner was from Ireland. In the other, the partner was from Ecuador. I noted this esp. bec. I was interested to hear from them both that the English test had not been...

Not good news for us, but good info to share. From my lawyer QUOTE: If you had not yet filed a PR application, you can no longer file one if your occupation is on the barred occupations, unfortunately. The LMO was used once so you cannot use it again. You have to apply for a new LMO. There...

This is great everyone. The most giving group I have ever experienced. I am really touched by you help. Hope I can reciprocate soon. delphinium

The more I read the more anxious I become. My LMO # has been disqualified. I was just about to apply for my PR. Do I Have to put that LMO # on my application? I think so. Now I have read (sorry I cannot bear to go back and find the link, having a tough day) that one can work no longer than...

Dear lets vibe This is our situation exactly. To a "t". And now worked hours and hours only to find that they JUST extinguished the NOC job category. FYI: We had to get the LMO. Employer did not want to be bothered. Happened upon a lawyer who had an "in" at the company (total serendipity)...

This may not address your question, but a word from our experience: If the graduate student PR track is still avail. DO IT RIGHT AWAY. We are in limbo now, because we did not take advantage of that track within the allowable time frame. It is among the easiest PR's to get. Unfortunately, due...

Thanks for sharing this. Do you need a bookkeeping or math background? I am former professor, ' but not so good at maths. did they do an LMO, or did wife have OWP? :)

Right toby, thanks. After overwhelming struggles, I got an LMO last year, and I think the NOC was sales supervisor, # 6211. On my work permit it says: "sales supervisor" OUCH!!!!! JUST this month finally got enough hours and cash to apply to CEC, was planning to submit by end of this month...

I just found out that the NOC code used on my LMO is now one of the "closed" NOCS on the CEC class!!! Any ideas or advice appreciated. I was JUST about to put in my PR app. and now do not know what to do. delphinium

Would "Notice of Assessment" have reflected your situation accurately? delphinium

I hope I am not being stupid here, please bear with me. Question: LMO expires In Jan 2014. Can I apply for a BOWP, or does my employer need to get me a new LMO? This assumes that I will not have gotten my CEC PR application in BEFORE January. Trying to cover all bases. thanks, delphinium

Leaving this here as it could help someone, but I was in error - (see below) this link only applies to CEC applicants. Here I found it: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/applications-accepted.asp delphinium

If I am not mistaken, the News Bulletin that was posted here on Nov. 9 listed Admin Asst. as one of the NOC codes they were about to extinguish.I will try to find the link. delphinium

HMMM. For some reason that now escapes me I thought that I just could go to the border and get kids work permits by paying a fee. They are too young to have experience/skills. Darnit. They really want to work. Still wonder if I should figure out how to extend LMO or use the NAFTA for a...

Hello, I am the principal - have LMO (soon to expire - Jan 14, 2014) Trying to get my CEC class PR application submitted in next week or so. I ALSO am lucky enough to have a NAFTA permit, which expires in JULY 2014. (I have 2 jobs) My question: Assuming it's possible, which might be the best...
