Employer: Open
Occupation: Open EA

Does this tell you what kind of Visa I have and whether I can extend??? Sorry for the million questions. I just want to get this all ok.

Thank you SO much for you help

You're here on a working holiday visa/IEC. They definitely cannot be extended. Again, your choices are either to get an approved LMO and apply for a closed work permit - or apply for a second IEC if you are allowed.

Ok. Well that clears it for me. So confusing to what your entitled too! It says on the back of my visa that I can extend. But I guess its only the ways that you have informed me. Again Thank you. Do you work in this line of work?

Once you have the approved LMO, you will submit an application for a new (closed) work permit tied to that specific employer.

Hi, I have a quick question. My job does not require LMO.
I have a work permit visa approved. But when I applied for WP, I got another offer. Now I would like to work with the new employer than the one with whose offer I applied for TWP visa.
I am going to enter Canada @ border next week.
As my job does not require LMO, is it possible to get the WP for the new employer instead of the old one.?
Is there a possibility or do I need to apply new WP once I enter Canada?

I have the WP visa valid up to 2017.

Any suggestion will be appreciated!!
