Hello,
I graduated from a Canadian university in 2009 and received my Postgrad WP. I started working in April 2010, switched companies in October due to my department being axed and will have completed my 1 year work experience requirement by March 31st 2011. However, I was going through the guide on the website and I have some questions:
1. The guide says a copy of my most recent study permit must be included in the application. I seem to have mislaid this very important piece of paper or possibly surrendered it at the border because I was travelling on my work permit. So...is there anywhere I can get a copy of it?
2. My work permit expires in May 2011. They shortchanged me on my permit by one year. However I've heard if you write to them and provide documentation from the university that you were a student there, they give you that extension. Is this true?
3. Can I carry on staying/working in Canada if I've put my PR papers in but my work permit has expired?
Thank you!
