Interview!

[cec2011L]

Hello everyone,

I have been called for an interview in detroit this month.
I applied in August 2011.

I was working on an LMO when I applied, late october 2011 i was laid off temporarily.

Im currently looking for a job ( my LMO expires in November), will this affect my interview?
Should I be employed?? ???

Please advice,
Thank you.

I'm a little confused by "working on an LMO." An LMO does not give you authorization to work, only a work permit does.

Also - you say you were laid off temporarily in Oct 2011, did you resume working for the same employer, and when?

well no i did not get a call back yet.

Looking for jobs still

No, you do not have to be employed when you apply but you should have the required experience.

Being "currently employed" is not a requirement of CEC.

You ARE authorized to remain in Canada until the expiration of your work permit - leaving and re-entering Canadan, though, could be a little more tricky. It's possible you could face some inquiries about how you have been supporting yourself since last October. If you have been living off of savings and have a substantial bank balance to prove it, I would recommend carrying copies of recent bank statements (do not have to be Canadian banks).

And I think you will need to be more careful about what you say in your interview. If you were laid off in October 2011 and are still laid off, then I don't think you can call it "temporary" anymore, even if it started out that way.

As for the interview - if you have time, you should apply for your GCMS notes ...
