My work permit (through working holiday) will be expired on 22nd August 2011. My employer helped me to fill out the application form for applying the LMO & CAQ. However, we came across some questions as follows:
1. for LMO, the last page request to fill in a person for representation(Appointment of Representative). my employer doubtes that it's optional or not because there is no need to authorize a third person to represent me and employer to do the process and my employer already signed the previous page for declaration. is that right? or it is talking about that my employer represent me? we didn't fill in this part, can any one tell what does it mean?
2. For both LMO & CAQ, they are also required to fill in the duration of job offer. My employer had written a remark on that as " offer is open to continue" is that appropriate? or we have to fill in a specific date compulsary? usually how many years can the work permit last? can we fill it 3 or 4 years?
3. Because I just start the LMO and CAQ application this week, I think i will be late to get the work permit before August. I can stay to wait for my work permit if i have submitted my work permit application to CIC before August. is that right? it is because the application is under procession at that time. do I have to provide proof at that time or inform serivce Canada so that I can still get legal status of my social insurance card? how many days can I stay to wait for my new work permit???
4. I will apply a new work permit and study permit at the same time, because my current permit only allow me to study 6 months course. my school help me to write a letter to apply CAQ. I decideed to apply the new work permit and study permit at the same time. is there any conflict between that? i will get either one permit or i will get both permit? does anyone have same experience?
I hope everything's ok.
