Ganun nlang po ba kadali ang pag-process ng mga papers??? sa ngayun po ay hinihintay ko nlang po ay narito pa rin sa pinas at naghihintay na ng schedule ng flight... sana po ay matulungan nyo po ako.. maraming salamat po..
Got this information from one of the website I browse. Hope this helps:
1. Is there anything that I need to do prior to seeking extension or renewal?
If your original work permit was subject to a requirement such as a Labour Market Opinion Confirmation or CAQ, then such processes may need to be concluded prior to (or in some cases in parralel to) the extension or renewal of the work permit.
2. Can I extend my work permit once it is issued?
Yes, it is typically possible to apply for an extension of an existing work permit. Such applications are submitted to a Case Processing Centre located within Canada, and the applicant is not required to leave Canada during the application process.
In some cases, there may be a maximum possible validity of a work permit under a given set of provisions. For example, in cases of intra-company transfer, an individual may remain working in Canada for a maximum duration of between five and seven years (depending on category); for low skill occupations subject to a Labour Market Opinion, a maximum duration of four years may apply.
3. When do I need to apply for extension?
At present, it is advisable to apply a minimum of 30-60 days prior to the expiration of your work permit, which represents the current delays for processing of such cases. Although not advisable, it is possible to apply closer to the expiration of a work permit.
