Hello, I have a Question
I was working in a place with my PGWP for a year and then after that, I applied for an FTA Work permit under a mobility program, I got a new work permit at the beginning of November and this one is closed to the place I was working. But at the end of November was a massive lay off and I got in there. The problem is I'm in a closed work permit until November 2020 and I can't survive like that.
I applied for the CEC but I'm worried that it takes so much time.

What can I do, to follow my Canadian Path?



Thank you for reading this. :)

Assuming you have AOR, you can try applying for a BOWP by showing that you have been laid off from your current job. Some people in this situation have been granted BOWPs even though their permits were valid longer than 4 months.

You could also try to get a different job offer under the FTA and apply for a new work permit.
