Hi Pretty_girl, is the above info relevant if I need to amend a work permit application that I've already submitted? I'll explain why I think I need to do that:
On August 31st my Post Graduate Work Permit expired, so on August 21st I applied for an extension of my PGWP on paper using form IMM5710E. I knew I wasn't eligible for an extension, but I applied anyway just so that I could stay and continue working in the hope that I would eventually get an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
And I got the ITA on Friday the 13th! I submitted my PR application on Saturday the 14th. My PGWP extension hasn't been denied (yet) so I am still on implied status. My priority is to keep working until I get PR and my hope is that I can amend my PGWP extension application and turn it into a Bridging Open Work Permit application, since I'm eligible for one of those now.
Today I called an immigration lawyer to ask if amending an application is possible and he said yes! He also said that it is very easy and recommended that I do it myself (his firm would charge $1,000). The only thing is that I can't find any instructions anywhere! You seem to be the real expert here - do you know anything about how I could do this? I'm petrified that I'll make the wrong move and find myself unable to work until I can get PR or restore my status. Thank you thank you thank you for your advice on this thread!
