Sorry to bump into this topic.....
can someone please advise me based on my profile.
Thanks in advance for the experts looking at my query.
I am fortunate to have a word from my employer that they will process my LMIA and PNP simultaneously.
Current status expiry - APril 13th 2015.
If it will take a week to post the job, say Feb 28th. I need to wait until march 28th for applying for LMIA....!!!!!
Now my issue is, how can I stay with legal status and work for the same employer??
I called up the LMIA process center, the said that they will take 8-9 business days for screening and 8-12 weeks for processing application. I don't have that much time.
Coming to PNP it will be the same issue and I don't have many hopes over this as this will be not EE PNP route is not yet activated in Ontario.
I don't know what to do..... I am going crazy.
One my friend suggested that drop paper based work permit to CIC in first week of April and I will be in implied status, where my existing immigration status will be ok to work. as they will take 3 months for review... in the mean time if positive LMIA will be issued (hopefully), then I can update my work permit file..... do you guys think that this will be ok.... can I work during this time.
Please let me know if you have any better idea or any suggestion.
I gone through much hassle to convince my employer.
Thanks guys.
Appreciate your help.
FYI - My current score is 497 and NOC code will be 1122.
qualified under CEC and FSW.
A big thank you guys.
