Humanitarian and Compassionate Ground First Stage Approval

[chad]

Hello everyone
I recently made an inland application for Permanent Resident under Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds.
I have been wondering if I will be eligible to apply for work permit upon receiving first stage approval .On the CIC website ,it say the process might take several years before the final decision can be arrived at and this will make my survival really difficult economicallyas I come from a poor african family. Are there any other helpful suggestions for my situation.

No, not until you receive Approval in Principal.

207. A work permit may be issued under section 200 to a foreign national in Canada who
(a) is a member of the live-in caregiver class set out in Division 3 of Part 6 and meets the requirements of section 113;
(b) is a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class set out in Division 2 of Part 7;
(c) is a protected person within the meaning of subsection 95(2) of the Act;
(d) has applied to become a permanent resident and the Minister has granted them an exemption under section 25 of the Act; or
(e) is a family member of a person described in any of paragraphs (a) to (d).
