Hello all,
I'm in a bit of a tricky situation here. My current post-grad work permit expires at the end of this month on the 30th, and I qualify for PR under CEC only 3 days before that on the 27th of September. I presently have a full time permanent job with my current employee and they have finally decided to go ahead and apply for the LMO just now after a long delay since it was their first time applying.
My question is what are my options in terms of extending my WP beyond the expiration of my current status. Should I apply for closed WP (while LMO gets processed) or go for the BOWP without having received an AOR (after applying under CEC) by including a cover letter detailing my situation.
I understand the BOWP has to be applied before my current WP runs out. Does the same apply for the closed WP too? As I said I will be applying under CEC on the 27th and my current open WP expires only 3 days after on the 30th of September so I am dealing with a bit of tight timeline here.
Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated as it can make all the difference. I just don't want to end up leaving the country and this job that I have worked so hard for.
Look forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks!
