Dear Seniors and knowledgeable peeps,
We are here from Northwest Territories. After the moratorium brouhaha things on the food industry sector was never been the same especially acquiring new LMO that is LMIA now.It is so expensive and yet no assurance. Definitely mostly of our employers is not into LMIA.
Our employers are still interested to support our nomination provided we can extend our work permit. While our work permit is still valid when at the last minute our employers made the decision to nominate us and it was just filed this October 2014. Our working permit is expiring this December 2014, January to March 2015. We are already running into two years contract period so to sum it up we are almost finishing the two years work permit.
To knowledgeable peeps and seniors of this forum we have this coveted question - here goes:
1. Is it possible to extend our work permit using a new contract stating the duration as "permanent" meaning no more stated duration period to affirm for a long term status?
2. Is it possible to attach a plea in the application of work permit for the purpose of asking consideration in lieu of the existing foreign workers to be granted an extension of work permit? The validity status of foreign workers is vital to support the nomination process.
3. Definitely LMIA will not be available so using the new contract and letter attachment or probably reusing the old LMO when applying extension work permit aside from other stated requirements; is this possible?
Your reply is greatly appreciated to lead us to the light under the tunnel. Thank you very much.
