Hi mmara,mmara said:Hi,
I have the exact same situation. I have been under a Work Permit (Intra-Company Transferee) since 2010 and my work permit is about to expire in December 12, 2012. The company that I'm working for right now will be closing operations in Canada and I have no way to get a permit renewal
I have been looking for a new job but It seems difficult to get the LMO, specially when you are a Systems Engineer like me.
Does anyone know what other options I might have to stay in Canada legally while I wait to get my PR?. I have applied under CEC and already got AOR
Thanks
You can apply to 'extend your status as a visitor'. This is not the same as a visitor visa. You basically need a valid reason to stay here while you are unable to work or study. I gave my reason as waiting for my PR and was given the status for 6 months. So if you give your AOR and show them you're waiting you should be able to get it.
