Is this someone you are in a relationship with?

Actually , I am sorry if I am disclosing it with a friend earlier because I don't want to be in trouble. My fellow countrymen will judge me based on like this. This question is for

If she can get an approved LMIA then she can apply for a closed work permit before August 17th and continue working.

Hopefully she gets an approved LMIA. I don't know why IRCC has been strict. for getting PR She is working 3 jobs but the 2 jobs both under Government. The other one is city in Ontario as a Zumba Instructor mostly she teach 18+ and Seniors and working for 2 years now. She also working in a fitness gym. also as a Zumba Instructor.

Is the employer willing to go through the LMIA process? They need to start now. Note that the job needs to be full time.

She is currently working as a full time. The other job that she has is a youth centre under a local government of that small town. She is currently working for 1 year and 2 months. I hope she convince them again this week. If not , I hope she can learn french within the restoration window to get LMIA exempt for her. I know that she is not able to work in that time. Much better before her PGWP expires or find a job for LMIA-Approved before PGWP Expires.

I am asking on behalf of a friend. Here is her situation. She has a PGWP that will expire this coming August 17, 2025. The employer is unaware of the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). She asks the employer for LMIA this May. She plans to switch to a visitor record. In the future, can she apply for a Work Permit with a French LMIA - Exempt or a Work Permit with an LMIA After her Visitor Record is approved or during the processing of her Visitor record, while she is in implied status, she plans to take the French at the end of 2025? She is studying French right now. She submitted her Express Entry application, but due to a low score of 399, which was caused by being overage, I suggested that she study French, as this is the only way to obtain a PR. Her occupation is not in demand here in Canada.

How old are your parents? Realistically after a certain age it will be very difficult for them to remain in Canada longterm or qualify for PR.

Over 50. I know it is difficult but we have submitted by our consultant for OINP NOI Foreign Worker Stream and earned 50 pts last November 2024 but we are still waiting for the draw because if OINP works out we don't have to worry about it and we submitted Express Entry by our consultant. We are laying our options to remain in Canada longer. If OINP no draw and I don't know when she will take French , that is our only hope for now. But If we get LMIA well , we have some light at the end of the tunnel.

If she hasn't already started learning French then I think it's too late for the plan to secure an LMIA exempt work permit based on knowing French. She should have started last year.

 

[scylla]

She already started learning French but I'll see if she can take the exam in her restoration (90 day period). I will confirm with her because when she will take french. This week , there will be a staff meeting performance evaluation so I'll see if the employer is gonna support her.

I would think she would need to take the test while she still has valid status or she won't get the results soon enough to have time to complete the work permit application and restoration.

IMO - She is very short on time and needs to have a back up plan if none of this pans out.

Just claim asylum, you will get 10 years stay at least. Canada rarely deports anyone so you can stay forever by playing the system.

Let’s not joke and be sarcastic because people may not understand that this is not a valid pathway unless your life is truly at risk. Many are going to face significant longterm consequences because they were incorrectly advised to claim asylum. Although I am also frustrated by the inaction by our governent it is changing people are being deported.

At over 50 even with French the chances of securing PR are very low. Many younger people are also learning French. Your mother’s CRS score is too low for OINP even if they have a draw. Your mother really needs to have a plan B including returning home.

It's the best pathway! If you look at the asylum numbers, you will see for yourself. When inept people are running Canada, why shouldn't foreigners take advantage?

Over 5 years the pending went from 80k to 280k. Canada doesn't have the capacity to process these claims even in 20 years and the amount of recourse available after each rejection should pretty much provide opportunity worth a lifetime to stay. So, anyone wanting to stay should just claim asylum and chill.

It's worth mentioning that the country leading asylum claims in not even a country at war!
