Hello,

Any help you can give would be awesome. I have tried to contact the Canadian Embassy in the US (los angeles) and the email they have keeps bouncing back, and as I am in the US I can't get ahold of the phone helpline in canada. Very stuck.

QUESTION: I am working with an immigration lawyer in Toronto who needs copies of my past work permits. I have worked in canada the last three years for 6months at a time. Every time they give me my new permit they take out my old one and keep it.

I have my LMO's and have sent those on to him but he would like copies of the actual permits. I read that it takes 4 months! to get copies of permits? I am assuming thats current ones, I need proof of prior ones.

Anyone have any idea how to get a copy of past permits? Makes me angry knowing I need them now(I had a bad feeling when they took them).

I feel like I can't get ahold of anyone just to ask this simple question.
again any help would be awesome!
Thanks!
Emily

1. You won't get copies of the actual documents any more, you just get a verification of status document
