Protected Person Work Permit - Urgent Processing

[Asylum-Joe]

Hello All,

I am a protected person in Canada whose work permit expired earlier this month while I was out of the job. I applied for an extension about 1 month before it expired so I am on implied status at the moment. However, I have received a job offer now and have no work permit or valid SIN.

My question is: Does anyone know of a method I can use to obtain a work permit as soon as possible so that I can commence on the new job in November? Is it possible to get CIC to expedite my application under these circumstances?

Any information will be very much appreciated as I really need to get back to work and don't want to miss out on this opportunity.

Unfortunately I don't believe there's any way to expedite the application. However I could be wrong. I would recommend you join the discussions in the thread below and ask your question there:

You can keep working or start to work in a New Company by providing your SIN No your new employer. You are a protected person so you should have no problems. I am in the same boat my work permit expiring tomorrow ie 5-Nov and I was terrified to read experiences of people who applied in June and they got decision in Nov. This is actually ridiculous CIC instructing us to apply before 30 Days of expiry and they take 120 days or more to process.
