LEON (open work permit)

[rich_m0nd]

hi Leon,

i have submitted an inland application. i have an open work permit from my refugee claim. it will be expiring in the end of july. i didn't apply for open work permit when i submitted my sponsorship. when i get my approval can i apply for open work permit?

Are you eligible to apply to extend your open work permit???

i think so. they said if they haven't called me in for the hearing of my refugee claim then i can extend my work permit. i know it takes 18-24 months for that hearing. if i can get open work permit for my approval of in-land application then i'll withdraw my refugee claim. what do you suggest?

When you get first stage approval on your inland sponsorship claim, you can apply for an open work permit.
