Hi Everybody
I have a few questions to ask you guys and hoping for your expertise on the topic.
I have currently finished my MA in Canada. Prior to this I have studied for my BSc and have worked for 2 years under my Post-Grad work permit. At this moment I have few options available to me - PNP, LMO and marriage. My post-grad work permit expired in April 2012.
According to my lawyer it will take about 9-12 months to get the first stage of PNP and get a work permit as an applicant based on completion of the Masters degree (without employer). I was wondering if that is the case and does it take that long?
The second questions is with regards to Off-campus Work Permit. I hold a study permit until December 2013, I was wondering if I can apply for the work permit even though I have finished my studies?
Finally the last question. If my girlfriend and I decide to make things official (we have been dating for a long time and have been talking about marriage before) how long would it take for me to obtain my Work permit.
As you can see I am mainly concerned with being able to work here. FYI my degree is in MA Financial Economics if that makes a difference.
Thank you in advance for any advice or help you can provide!!!
