My two year iec permit is up in December and I did a survey on the government website that said I may be eligible to apply for an extension. I saw two lawyers who said I wouldn't be able to apply for permanent residency but an extension would be good enough for me for now. The only thing is..if they deny my application will I receive an order to leave the country? Because, If I can't get a work permit I want to stay here as a tourist still and have the funds to support myself indefinitely.
More background information...I own a business here but only 45%. I know I could not work in said business if I do not have a permit but the agreement I have in place is that I can still receive a lesser profit by not working. Apparently if I own 50% or more then this could help? Would it be accepted if just get the documents changed to me owning 50%?
I do not have any experience under CEC skilled worker to apply via that route and the role I have in the business is not one that would be easy to prove no canadian can do.
Thanks in advance!
