CAN I stay in canada to wait for my PR being processed when my work permit ends?

[Kamesh]

Hi guys, I posted this at another topic but just wanted to ask here, in case more fitting.

Anyway, have work permit until January 2011. I also have PR application (via PNP c/o ALBERTA).

Since PR applications supposedly take from 8 to 12 months now, do I HAVE TO leave CANADA WHEN MY WORK PERMIT EXPIRES while I await for my PR application to be processed?

Please let me know!

Thanks a lot and good luck to us all.

hi where u from??..btw based on the cic/pnp website u have to make that ur work permit remains to be valid while waiting for the processing of ur PR application so in your its better to renew your work permit.. u can stay up to 90 days after ur work permit expires but u are not allowed to work. can u post ur timeline.? i got my pr status in 4.5 mos only.

my husband was advised to apply for an extension of his work permit by the CIC call center when he called them since his will expire by November 30, 2010. also, when the province that nominated him sent the nominaiton package, it included forms and info on how to apply for work permit. i think it only costs CAD 150 and processing time in Vegreville, Alberta (the CIC office that processes work permits from inside Canada) is 76 days.
extension lang kasi in process naman ang application for permanent residence, just need to attach a copy of the nomination letter dun sa application for extension ng work permit para the visa officer who will handle the case knows why extension ang ina-apply.

actually he was hesitant at first to apply for extension since additional gastos na naman yung 150 dollars, we're waiting for our passport request na kasi from Buffalo, NY 2 months na nandun ang result ng medical exams namin.

Hi to all,


Pinoy din ako, in case you want to know. I was nominated for Alberta thru H1 program. I just mailed my application to CIC yesterday. tanong ko lang dami bang trabaho sa Alberta? Actually backup plan ko lang ang Canada, pero kung maganda dun baka lumipat na lang ako. By the way Goodluck sa inyo lahat!!! sana makuha nyo PR nyo. Thanks!!!
