Hello,

I am curious as to whether this may be an issue. I will be marrying my fiancee next week. She currently has a temporary work permit tied to her old employer. She has a new employer which has sent in an LMO for another position. Assuming the LMO comes back positive, she will then send in an application to change conditions (a work permit with a new employer). Now, does that fact that we're marrying mean the CIC may take issue with granting a new work permit? Does this marriage affect anything in the work permit process? Would they look at this negatively in any way at all?

Looking for some opinions! Thanks!

Marriage has no effect.

Ok great. I was concerned that it would be thought that marriage could lead a VO to believe that my wife woul not leave after the temporary work permit expires.

Can anyone comment on this? If my fiancee gets married to me in Canada, could this be used as a reason to deny the work permit as her husband would be living in Canada and they might see it as a reason that she wouldn't leave after her work permit expires?

Thanks!
