Hi everyone,
My case with Canadian immigration is as confusing and amusing as many here. so here it is,
I came to Canada in 2011 summer, finished my masters, got my PGWP and worked here. Interesting part is, i did all this in part of Canada they call Quebec 8). I applied for CSQ after my studies, they took 1.5 year to open my file and then other 6 months to reject it. Reason being i got my Bachelors Degree attested from Canadian notary, not from India. Now with most of my PGWP wasted during this open and reject process, i applied for CEC Federal. but caps were all full and my file came flying back to me
.
My HR said they can apply for work permit extension, but my luck took over again and most of staff got laid due to cost cuts ( along with the HR). so i applied for express entry profile in Jan and waited for ITA. i was actively looking for jobs outside Quebec as i know you cannot live in Quebec if applying under federal. My lay off date at work was April 15. i got invitation in last draw of march. i prepared my docs and waited for my job to finish. on April 2, packed my stuff and moved to Toronto and applied the very next day.
now its almost a month since my application. my work permit expires in 3 months, i have applied for BOWP but haven't got any response. My almost finished work permit have affected my job search with no one wanting to employ risky candidate. Now i have received a offer for 3 month contract job in Ontario. but they need incorporated contractor.
Now REAL question is "If i do work as incorporated contractor, will it affect my already submitted PR application as FSW? I never got 600 Job points in express entry as my job before was without LMIA. So technically my points wont be affected. Also, i already have 2.5 years of experience under my NOC code. Should it affect anything?
i could have just sit idle and not do anything until decision is made on my file or i get other job. but i guess getting a job outside Quebec asap made my case more trustworthy?
Called CIC, but they say they don't have idea and i should send email to express entry. Any suggestions?
