Hello all,
I applied my BOWP on Feb 9th, and got a refusal lettery on Mar 27 state that:
"This letter refers to your application for Work Permit.
Your application as requested is refused.
After considering all the circumstances of your case, your application for a work permit cannot
be approved as requested without a valid Labour Market Opinion and Confirmation from Human
Resources and Skills Development Canada. Your prospective employer is responsible for
obtaining this confirmation.
We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status will expire on 6 April 2013. You
may apply again before the expiry of your temporary resident status if you submit:
-a completed application form;
-applicable fees for the immigration document(s) in the amount of $150.00 payable at a
financial institution in Canada or online at
-All required documents in support of your application."
I am not sure why I got refused. I am holding a 3yr PGWP which expired Apr 6, 2013. And I sent my CEC application on Oct 15, and received AOR Dec 4. Also for sure I stay in Canada. I think I meet all the requirement. The only thing I can think of is maybe mine is not the right AOR or they thought I am applying the regualr work permit? I am not sure what should I do now? Should I resubmit open work permit with explaintion letter (which I dont first time, but I choose open work permit in the section)? Or should I apply LMO and submit regular work permit? But is it enough time to apply now since my work permit expired on Apr 6, 2013? Or should I apply vistor visa or Restoration of status? Any suggestion? PLEASE HELP ME.
Here is my AOR, can anyone check if that's the right one?
