Difficult Situation

[juliegunawan]

Can I know what you were doing before June 1st, 2014?
Can you include your other previous experience? I'm thinking maybe you could apply for college, stay under study permit, and look for employers (try with small town in SK, MB, or east side like NS, PEI, NL) that are willing to issue LMIA.

Hope the best for you!

I have worked in Canada without authorization unintentionally. I hired a consultant for my PGWP extension. But he messed up the things as a result CIC rejected my application and did not even gave me an implied status. So my permit expires on May 19, 2015. CIC issued a letter on June 15, 2015 stating that my temporary resident status expired on May 19, 2015 (expiry of my WP). My consultant told me this on July 6, 2015 and I got my employment termination 2 days later.

So my question is if I don't include my experience from May 19 to July 8, 2015, I would not have 1 year skilled work experience for CEC. If I do I may have a chance. So what to do. Would cic consider my work experience from May 19 to July 8 as a authorized work experience because I had my pay stubs and I paid taxed or would it not?

Shall I make my EE profile and let cic know through letter of explanation what happened with me

I've been in the same situation and I payed to a consultant who explain me something that maybe is not in the general info... but legally you can have 2 weeks off... that can count as vacations. So if you started working in June 1 and Finished at May 19, I firmly believe the system in Express Entry will take it as one year work. Try uploading your profile and check how many points it gives you.

Good luck!

If you already know that the Work permit you had is not elegible for extension, and it seems you knew when you submited the apllication to extend your stay in order to get the extra time to get the work experience you needed for CEC, why areyou saying your cionsultant screw up ? As you are many who try to cheat the system and of course, CIC caught the game and is not playing it any longer.

Hi Susana

It is always better to ask before saying I cheated. I got the work permit for 2yrs, 10 months. I was eligible to claim 2 more months. Had I been granted that much, I would have been eligible for cec. My consultant advised me to apply just before the expiry. He screwed me up when it came to pay the fee. According to new rules everyone has to pay 100$ at top of 155$ total of 255$ for open work permit or its extension. He did not do that because he did not know the new fee. CIC made this thing a ground for rejection. By the time they opened up my application the actual expiry date was gone and once its gone you cant restore.

So quiet saying I cheated

If you used 3 years' PGWP, how is it you have less than 1 year CEC?

Could not find a skilled job

Thanks a lot for the advise. I am already very near to get an admission. Only problem is I have a experience in oil and gas where it is very hard to get an lmia. as for the provinces you talked about there may be lmia available but for noc c and d jobs which wont count anything

Perhaps, if you stay in Canada as a student, you could take a course of study that would qualify you for jobs for which an LMIA might be available. Alternatively, study in provinces that extend PNP to graduates of schools in that province.

You can try to work in the plant, SK has lots of opening for plant operator manager/supervisor.
There's new grad program as well in some small town in SK, like Yorkton or EsterHazy.
Kindersley area is also famous for their oil and gas activities (not quite sure what's happening now with the oil price dropped low).
South of Manitoba started their oil and gas industry as well as Nova Scotia.
But I'd think, the priority now is to have some permit to make you stay and study, while looking for LMIA.
All the best.
