hi im living in Sask, my work permit ran out on the 22nd novemeber i extended my stay before it ran out by applying for visitor visa (advised by Sask immigration), i have SINP work support letter and job offer, (same employer i worked for for the past 2 years of work permit) i've stopped working but need to get back to work asap (mortgage, bills). i haven't applied for a work permit as the cic website says im ineligible to apply.. i have been told with all my documents (nomination support letter, job approval letter, and visa application proof, not yet approved) buy Sask immigration that i should be able to go to North portal now and they should be able to re-instate me with another work permit. the idea makes me nervous going to North Portal without any visa in affect yet. I currently have no status still waiting for either PR application and visitor application to be finalized. can the north portal issue a work permit or does it have to be applied through cic website? Any experiences,guidance or advise would be very appreciated. thanks
