Here is what I learnt about about Work Permit extension from CIC:
You have to have either of the following to be able to apply for a work permit extension:
1.) PNP Certificate (LMIA exemption)
OR
2.) AOR
OR
3.) Job with a LMIA
dear joyous, correct me if I am wrong.
I called CIC as well.
From what I gathered, PNP certificate might not work since it is expired by now and we do not have documentation (AOR) that we applied. PNP certificate(with the supporting letter that we got) works when you apply to get a work permit right away after getting the certificate. I believe it is meant for those who do not have a WP. Mine expired back in sep/oct. they will put us on hold waiting for AOR and we will be on implied status.
BOWP only works if you have an AOR as well.
Might be possible to get a closed work permit with a LMIA from current employer.
Ah well...at least I have another 5 months left.
