Hi Folks,
I have a full-time, permanent job which I got on an Open Work permit, thanks to my husband.
We just got our CSQ (hooray!) and I would like to apply for either:
(1) A new work permit, or
(2) A change in conditions to my Open Work permit
It would be better if I got a "closed" work permit since my husband's job situation is a lot less stable than mine. He can only get 1 year job offers/positions at this point, and if we re-apply for his work permit we won't even get it for a full year because his passport is expiring soon.
However, the immigration folks over at the University where we both work is insisting that since I am on an Open Work permit, I can only get an extension (its expiring by end of August) only if my husband re-applies for a work permit.
I just need to confirm if they are correct or not.
Cheers,
Yellowhammer
