Hi Yoboy,

IMO, you should apply ASAP since you qualify now. Don't wait for CEC, which will be available to you only after a year. If your fears about losing your job becomes a reality ( I sincerely hope not) then you may not qualify for CEC.

According to the CIC news, Min. Kenny hopes to finalize cases within a yr or less.

In case you lose your job, you may apply for Visitor status and while the application is being processed you would still enjoy a Legal status which is called "Implied status".

Take the chance (apply) now than later as you never know what further changes CIC might implement in the future.

Good Luck.

if i have implied status what does that mean.
would i be able to apply new job and for that i need LMO again and same old work permit process. is that right?

IMPLIED status means that you are LEGALLY residing in Canada.

You may look for jobs and in case you happen to find one then you may request your Employer to apply for a LMO and later you can apply for work permit with the approved LMO.

You cannot work while you are on Implied status and without LMO/WP.
