Hi there
I came to Canada on a study permit in 2013, I graduated 2015 in Calgary, then I got a Post Grad work permit. I was given the run around and a lot of miss information which has led me to apply for my AINP in Alberta very late into my permit.
I sent my app in May 4th 2018
my permit expires on August 7th
I hear the only option for me is to apply for an extension with an LMIA
but again I am in the situation where I was working in a job that was NOC class C for the past 2 years, and it is virtually impossible for me to get an LMIA with my current company.
After speaking to an immigration Lawyer, they told me that if I send off an app for a new work permit by mail knowing that it will get declined, it will buy me time (roughly 3-4 months) to get an LMIA but getting one isn't exactly easy.
But if I manage to find an employer willing to help with an LMIA that entitles me to apply for an open work permit doesn't it? if I have this permit can I not just leave the job that was offered and work elsewhere instantly? are there any ties that keep me to the job offered? because I can go back to my current job no problem while I am still awaiting my AINP to be processed so if my status gets renewed with a valid permit, I then get the extra time I need for my AINP to come through, then just apply for my PR that way.
however I also understand that if my AINP gets processed while I am in Implied Status then I can still get declined, so I need to push for a new permit ASAP.
Sorry for sounding messed up, but I am in a big mess right now, all because of miss information.
