Hi All
Need guidance for the situation I am in. My current wp expires in 2 weeks. I received EE AOR more than 3 months ago but it is still application received from day 1. In the meantime I applied for BOWP. But going by the processing times of BOWP, decision would not be made before another 7 weeks. I have a new employer offer, not the current employer, just after the current one expires. The new employer would give in the formal letters stuff etc by this weekend. My queries are
1. Would I able to work for new employer without getting approval of BOWP.
2. I could officially apply for a new work permit by this weekend. Do I need to wait till the new work permit arrives or can I continue to work with the new employer if the application for new work permit is filed? (Note this application is new and not BOWP).
3. Probably the more important.....consider I cannot work under the new work permit (because it would not be processed in 2 weeks time) or cannot work under BOWP (implied status) because it is a new employer and a decision has not been made ......could I still legally stay in Canada while the applications are being processed. My TRV expires in 2 Weeks as the current WP date and cannot renew it as I do not have a new WP. Could I legally stay in Canada?
Could the forum members let me known your opinions, please. Thanks.
