pay could be a concern but its not your fault.

1.
>>have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply,
So you need to apply before May 2015. If I am in your place, I will apply today, so that I get in before the caps/limits get hit.

2. Salary shouldnt be an issue until there is a huge variation. Also not paying you per LMO is not your fault. Its the employers fault. So they should be worried.not You.

Hi

Did you leave Canada during the 1 year of work (May 2012 to June 2013)?

You need to demonstrate 1 FULL year of working in Canada, any time (days) out of the country will be deducted from the time working. If the balance is less than 1 year then you do not satisfy the requirements of CEC.

If you have a full year then I would apply now before the limits max out.

What did you do between June 2013 and March 2014? I do not believe this period would be classed as work experience as you were not working.

Salary is not your issue; by law the employer should have paid you the rate on the LMO. This is a condition of the LMO being issued to the employer by CIC. Technically this could cause issues for the employer. Employers will apply for the LMO showing the market rate or required wages to get the LMO issued. They will then pay employee’s less which undercuts the local Canadian workers wage hence making it cheaper for the employer. Most workers on TFWP’s do not say anything, if they are fired then the permit is revoked and you have no legal status in the Canada.

Hi

If you have one full year (365 days) working in Canada then you could be considered for a CEC application. This is only one criterion and you would need to satisfy all the requirements of the application. I would suggest you begin the process now.

You were asked to leave because you changed from a TFW to a visitor when your permit expired. After your visitor time expired you had no justification to remain in Canada.

Thx
