Hello all,
My cousin is currently working in US on H1B. And, has an Open Work permit for Canada which expires in August. His wife is attached to the same Open work permit. They want to move to Canada and be able to stay longer than just 3 months. Please advice on the following:
My cousin is currently working in US on H1B. And, has an Open Work permit for Canada which expires in August. His wife is attached to the same Open work permit. They want to move to Canada and be able to stay longer than just 3 months. Please advice on the following:
- Can he & his wife apply for new Visitor Visa while they have a current open work permit? This way they have up to 6 months to find a new job & switch back to extended open work permit.
- Or, is it a better to extend open work permit from inside Canada (on-paper application) as it takes only 3 weeks?
