That's quite encouraging. So as long as my employer files for a LMIA and soon after an employer specific work permit (both applications before the OWP expiry date), I can continue working on Implied status even as the applications for LMIA and WP are under processing. Much appreciated!

Hi Scylla, Since my OWP (2021 beneficiary) is expiring in October 2022, I have requested my employer to sponsor my WP. Can I continue to work even beyond October as long as my employer has initiated the process for getting me a LMIA/work permit? I have been with them for a little over 1 year...

We are writing emails to our local MPs and some pro Immigration MPs like Jenny Kwan. The template for the email is as below. I would urge that all of us should email her. Pls customize it to your situation - tell them your STORY! Ms. Jenny Kwan I’m a former international student who is...

Thanks, yes it ambiguous in that it doesn’t exclude or include but does say “all”. Anyways only the government can be stupid enough to ask highly skilled people with jobs to leave the country, even as they raise a hue and cry over labor shortage!

I finally found this IRCC statement which had me think that people like me won't be excluded. Pls refer to Sean Fraser's statement - "First I’d like to share that Canada is going to extend post-graduation work permits for recent international graduates and for those whose permits already have...

I see why (the original youtube video was 44 mins). Please refer to what he says at 13:30 onwards. Also while he did not lay it out in B&W in his April 2022 tweet, it seemed that those got the initial PGWP extn wont be excluded - "We will extend post-graduation work permits for recent...

Yeah it was my impression that these people (including me) will not be excluded but today at the - Federal and provincial ministers on future of immigration system meeting - please refer to the youtube link - - at 33:54 Sean Fraser says "that the new PGWP extension will apply to those who had a...

Will this new PGWP extn policy let those who got the 18 month PGWP extension in 2021, get another 18 mth extension?

I am currently working in Canada on PGWP (expires in 7-8 month- graduated from a Canadian Uni in Sept 2019), have more than 1 yr of Canadian experience but since CEC draws are not forthcoming, am thinking of applying for OINP-Employer job offer foreign worker stream. If I successfully get a...

I can tell you that less than 15 hrs of work per week is considered ineligible by OINP- I emailed them and found out about it. Gaps are fine though

Can a senior member please review my calculation of work experience as below and confirm if it's right or wrong? I have worked 1279 hours which works out to 42.63 weeks of full time work. Am I missing something? Thank you for your help. Duration (dd/mm/yy) Number of weeks -- A Hours worked...

I'll pm you

Minimum number of hours worked per week While Federal govt is ok with any number of hours worked per week as long as it adds up to 1560 hours over a period of at least 52 weeks, Ontario seems to have a different interpretation. They consider less than 15 hr per week ineligible. OINP just...

Hi jes_ON - Besides waiting to qualify for CEC, I am also submitting an EOI for Ontario's Master grad stream. While Federal govt is ok with any number of hours worked per week as long as it adds up to 1560 hours over a period of at least 52 weeks, Ontario seems to have a different...

Hi Scylla or another senior member - can you pls refer to the table below and tell me if am calculating my experience for CEC correctly? I worked in NOC 4012 part time and recently secured a FT job in NOC 1112. The 4012 job provided me RoE with the hours worked - I used that to back calculate...

Thanks for the update. I think I'll be able to get the reference letter from the University-good thing you clarified with them on the phone. Any chance you know whether part time work experience of less than 15 hours a week is ok for this purpose. As a Grad Teaching Assistant, I worked 10 hours...

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes universities aren't good at proving wrk experience reference letter, so as a backup I was hoping to use the record of employment from the Service Canada website. I think that should be pretty legit since it's a govt document, and it gives the number of hours...

I meant if i were to include my TA experience while on study permit, then i will have total 1 yr FT Wk exp, which equals 4 points. II did TA work after graduating as well and recently got a FT job. I have updated my EOi and it gave me 4 points so 38 in all but dunno if they'll make any more...

Oh is it? I feel so foolish. I didn't include my experience as a Teaching assistant while on study permit:(. It's worth 4 points. If I did, my score would've been 38, and I would've gotten an invite today. Today 326 invites were sent - cutoff was 37 -...
