How about those who are already in Canada? Lets say my working permit is going to expire in September this year? Am I going to be affected?

It depends on how much your employer is paying. If you are paid below median pay, then two years. Otherwise, even I am not sure. I think high skilled people don't have any limit until employer as a genuine reason in lmiA.

Actually it seems like the durations change measure will be implemented on summer 2015 and not immediately, at least if I understand correctly:

Lets Hope!

Otherwise I have a question.

What If I applied for ainp recently. Regarding to new chnges I might get (hopefully) my nomination in march-july 2015. But my work permit expires in february 2015. If I wont be allowed to extend my work permit due to these "fabulouse" new changes, is there any chance to stay in Canada and wait till i get nomintion? Or there is no sense to be nominated if you are not working anymore..? :-X
