Hi everyone,
I have a stupid situation right now. Please somebody give me an advices what can I do, what would be the next step to PR?
One year ago I got a new closed work permit from my employer, basically they extended my work permit (it was open) with LMO until 2014 summer, but after month I left that company (the reason was - company doesn't have a lot of work, so they just were doing everything, that to fire everybody, who is a new guy etc.). Now if I want to work, I need to find another employer with a new LMO, change work permit etc., but it is too difficult to do that, because you can start work only then, when you already have a new work permit, no probation term, no nothing. I mean, how an employer could know, that his choice (I'm talking about me) is a good. I don't say, that it's not possible, but it is a little bit difficult action to do that.
So, my questions would be:
1. I have almost one year experience (without a few days), so I could apply through the CEC. But by the rules, when you are applying, you must have an employer, a valid work permit, basically you have to work legally at that moment when you are sending those applications. So I'm not sure about it, I'm not working right now, because I can't. But my work permit is valid, just it has some notices, that only one exactly that employer. Am I right? What happens if I just will pass CELPIP test and will send those applications?
2. My friend can hire me at his company, but again he needs to apply for LMO, then to hire me in different position, I mean another occupation (for example as a manager, by my diploma). I could apply by PNP program. But he is only one in company. Is it sounds possible?
3. I'm challenging exam (apprenticeship) for journeyman ticket. If I will pass it, then I could try to apply by "Strategic Recruitment Stream" program. But again, I will need a valid work permit and exactly with that occupation. So I don't know, do I have a valid work permit or no?
4. And the last question would be about a new company. I heard, that some guys have work permits with "ABC" companies and they opened own companies for additional works and working with no problem. Is it legally to do that? Just when they will apply for PR through the program, they won't to write this info in application. I'm talking about for example my situation, time is going, I need money, to do something with my work permit or a new employer, or apply directly through the which program anyway it will take for awhile. What can I do right now?
I know, that simple step would be a new work permit, a new employer etc. But if to change my work permit, it will be probably another occupation, it means, that I can't apply by "Strategic Recruitment Stream" , what I wrote in 3 question. What would be the best way to do something and to get PR?
Maybe somebody was in similar situation and can give me some advices. Would be great.
Thanks a lot
