Hi, Jobseeker, I really need your help on this one. Thank you in advance!
I have already finished my 24 months working as a live-in caregiver, and now I am preparing my PR application and OWP.
I know that I can apply for both together, but the thing is my work permit has expired at the end of Dec. 2010, and I haven't received my extension of WP yet. It should be issued at the end of this month. But if I failed for new WP (I didn't provide a job offer letter, which according to other member here, is a must for same employer WP) I will lose my status(90 days after my WP expiry day will be past by then). I will have to leave Canada and my two years hard working will be wasted for nothing.
So I am thinking, maybe I can apply for my PR first, before I get the result from CIC. I already checked it out that applying for PR doesn't require a work permit copy. It's only the open work permit application that requires it. So I should be able to apply for PR. Then even my WP is refused at the end of this month, by then I already sent my new application, so will I be at implied status to stay in Canada legally till the new decision is made for my PR?
Or I could fax a job offer letter to CIC as supplementary document, to make sure I get the new WP. And then apply for both PR and OWP.But this way, there is no guarantee that my WP will be approved, risk is still there.
What do you think I should do? What is the safest way for me to do? Any suggestion will be appreciated! Thank you so much!God Bless us all!
