Hello ppl.
I apologize for opening a new topic as a new member. But I need advice, it is very important.
So, my NOC is 7322. I pretty much have all the papers sorted out to apply through Canadian Experience Class, I'm just waiting for some translations of my birth certificate and criminal record from other country.
Past few days I've been filling all the forms and came to one where it's asking me about my work in Canada within last three years. My situation was very complicated, so...
I came here in 2011 on a Working Holiday visa, my visa was valid one year(16.5.2011-16.5.2012)...I found job three days after and I'm still at that work this day.
So, we had very complicated situation about LMO, cause my company are led by cheapest and probably dumbest people in the world. They asked me if I want to stay in Canada half year before expiration of my visa. I wasn't sure at that time, but when I made decision they still had lots of time, so what happend.
I told them that I roughly know precedure and it's not simple, but they told me "don't worry, we'll figure out"... I don't know what excatly happend but according to them, they had denied LMO first time, just before expiration of my visa. But they spoke to some immigration officers and they gave them advice to apply for Work permit without LMO so we can bought time before they send new LMO application. Waiting time is roughly 3 months. They send application few days before expiration of my WH visa, lets say 14.5.2012., I'm not sure. After that period I wasn't sure if I can remain working, but they told as long as you are in procedure you can keep working but when we recieve letter from goverment, depending on that I'll have to quit or they will approve work.
We got letter from goverment in July, I think 21st. They say that they cannot issue a new work permit without LMO, which we knew. So, they gave me 90 days to leave country. As soon as I got that letter I quit my job and I was unemployed. I had savings, support from my gf, her family and my family from abroad while I was waiting for them to figure out.
They came with new idea and apply again for LMO, but I had to be paid 29$ per hour which was too much for them and that NOC wasn't actually what we do. So it's been denied just few days before those 90 days expired.
But I was invited for meeting with owner and from there he took everyhing and he send new application for LMO, with the right NOC number and all the needed paperwork. Then they told me I'm still good to stay but no work, so I was still freakin unemployed waiting for the papers.
So, the owner applied for new LMO just before expiration of these 90 days, and they also apply for new WP without LMO so they buy time again, they've been told by immigraton consultant company they can do that 2 times. They finally got positive LMO just before Christmas 2012 and under 90 days. When owner took everything in his hands he was working with immigration officers all the time. Not even month after I've been issued new Work permit valid till January 2015(two years)
So, thats my story. Now the very important questions if anyone have any idea what to do pls let me know.
In one form for PR they ask me for work in Canada within last 3 years. Should I write the date when my visa expired or when I actually quit, cause according to them(my company and immigration officers) I was entitled to work until the answer from goverment which was two months after my visa expired(then I quit)?
If I write my end date of work the last day on my visa(May,) I would be in country more than 6 months(I've got new WP in January). By the law with my passport I could stay only six months, in that case they can make troubles about that.
Does anyone knows what should I write in application?
