Sure you can apply as a temporary foreign worker. You will have to find an employer within Canada who wants to hire you. They will have to complete and submit a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Typically this is difficult, but not unheard of.

I have a job already, my visa I have now expires in May 2017, and was thinking maybe I can extend my stay as a worker when the application is approved and in process.

But can I do that when I apply outland?

Sorry I just had a quick look at your posting history so I could figure out which work permit you might have. This is an inland thread, but I will try to answer your question. You can apply for a PR inland or outland. That said, you can remain in Canada while they process your application as long as you have status. Temporary Foreign Worker is a status. So, yes, you can certainly try to apply to extend your Work Permit. There is limitations on how long you can work in Canada, so be mindful of that when you apply.

Also, I noted you are Swede. You do know that if invite you for an interview, you will have to leave Canada to do that, right?

Thank you! I am just trying to figure out what is best for me, inland or outland application. But the situation I am in now I think inland is the best choice.

You bet.

It will take 4 months to get the OWP, so if you apply for it before the new year, you will be able to continue to work without interruption. Inland might take a little longer (though *some* are seeing shorter processing times than even outland right now -- one of such cases was a Norwegian; applied Jan 11 2016 and landed Oct 12 2016). For some, it's the right choice. For others it can be a trying experience (if you let it get to you).

I am in no rush, I just want to be able to work and live the great life I already do with my boyfriend, so Inland seems like a better choice for us.

Can I apply for a OPW before I send in the spousal sponsorship application?

OWP's are really only granted to inland applicants. So you commence them at the same time, or you can request the OWP after you have applied inland.

Exciting update! I just received two emails early this morning. The first being:

'We are please to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada Immigration Centre in Calgary will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application'

And then another stating my Confirmation of Permanent Residence Interview is on Nov 15.

Lil back story - submitted it july 3 2015, they received it aug 7, started processing on aug 8. Im american, husband is canadian and he is sponsoring me. We've been married almost 5 years now.

Any clarification on what the interview will be? Is it the big interview where they ask tons of personal information? I've been following the thread posted on here with some example questions others have faced so im wondering if thats what my husband and I should be expecting as well. Also, I know this is probably jumping the gun but. Am I able to just go to the airport in my city and do my landing there?

Congratulations!

This is your Inland landing appointment, which is also a brief interview. You will likely be asked three basic questions, regarding your family situation, whether you've committed a crime and if you've been asked to leave Canada. Once you complete the appointment, you will have landed as a PR. The only thing left, will be to wait for your PR Card to arrive in the mail.

After calling cic this morning the agent told me that they are closely reviewing our application to see if we are a real couple... so I thought I might send a copy of our joint account and some pictures documenting the last year..
Any suggestions?

We have been married since 2014 and have a child together and another one on the road so I really don't understand why they need another proofs..?!
