If someone is within Canada on a work permit, and has applied in May to the FSW program, can they apply for a Temporary Work Permit while the app is being processed. Their current work visa expires in October.
"are in Canada because you have already applied for permanent residence from inside Canada (you will have to pass certain stages in the main application process to be eligible for a work permit)."
If you are applying for FSW 2014, the process is not complicated. You can apply on your own. All the information are available on CIC website and if you have any doubt you can always post on these forums. Start ASAP.
