CSQ holder - renewing work permit

[gxmener]

Hi guys,


I am a CSQ holder under the PEQ and I mailed my PR application in February.
I would like to renew my work permit but I am a bit confused.
I know I am LMIA exempt, but does my employer need to submit an offer of employment to IRCC and pay the 230$ compliance fee?
According to this link (https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp?q1_options=1i&q2_options=2c&q3_options=2c_iv) they do, but this link specifies it is for CSQ holders who have not yet applied for PR.

so: can I go ahead and apply online without my employer doing the above procedure?

anyone been in this situation before? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

AFAIK, you are eligible for A75 cwp with your employer. You need a job offer Id and compliance fee of cad 230 deposit by your employer besides some other documents. Please Google to get all eligibility documents list.

A job offer is a must for work permit (with or without CSQ) unless you graduated in canada.

Better attach it as at border I have read about people being asked for it last year.

Before the diligent admin deletes my comment, glean through certain posts on A75 on this page (it's in french but you can always translate if there's a handicap). If you can locate a post by Sylvie Gillard who's given a step by step process with details for A 75 - https://m.facebook.com/groups/576225505874737

Graduated in Canada has no bearing on a closed work permit. OP is asking about cwp here. There are different types of work permit in Quebec and not all of them require a job offer also.

Not now but I read it of someone last year. I don't foresee them opening anytime soon. Online application moves you to implicit status but remember a missing doc may delay the process further. Provide as many relevant as you can.

All the best.

You can start your PR with a visitor visa but given the delay it takes you'll probably have to get a new permit after that if you want to stay in Canada while waiting or wait for the PR outside Canada.
