Here is my situation -
My husband and I moved to Québec on a closed work permit in 2012 sponsored by his company. Being a spouse I received an open work permit automatically and worked as a contractor for over a year. August 2015 our work permits were going to expire and we applied for an renewal a few days before with an LMIA exempt as we have a CSQ now. We are still waiting for our renewed work permit to arrive. In the meantime we have also applied for our Federal PR as well.
My husband recently found that his position in the company might be getting terminated in January 2016. I have started working as a fulltime employee for a new employer a month ago and I want to ask my employer to sponsor my closed work permit as they will not have to go through the LMIA process since we have a CSQ. What is the process that my employer will have to follow? How difficult is the process? Can I apply on behalf of my employer with just a letter of employment?
Any information to help our case is much appreciated.
