Hi,
I am in Canada now with an open work permit. I applied and received the owp valid for one year from the date of entry. The day that I arrived in Canada (April, 10th/2012), the immigration officer issued my work permit with an expiration date for Dec, 30th/2012 - less than 12 months of my entry date, however, this date matches my W1 visa, that will expire on Dec, 30th/2012.
I had to fly home last week, and when I got back to Canada I asked to the officer in the customs/immigration booth about my one year work permit. She told me that it was supposed to be issued for one year from the date of entry and not until the end of this year, so, she said I should call immigration, what I did. They told me to send this form requesting to amend the info on my work permit. I went through this form several times and didn't find the right spot to request to change my work permit expiration date. Does anyone now how to proceed?
This is the form that I got from Immigration call center: IMM1436 (Request to Amend the Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Valid Temporary Resident Documents)
Thanks a lot!
