Exceptions
When you work within one of the occupations or categories listed below, the time you work in Canada is still counted toward your four-year maximum.
It is only when you apply for a work permit that these exceptions become relevant. An officer may issue a work permit to you if you have a job offer in one of these occupations/categories, even if you have already worked in Canada for four years.
These categories or occupations are the exceptions for which a work permit can exceed the four-year limit:
NOC O and A (including spouses/dependants of these skilled temporary foreign workers)
LMIA-exempt jobs under
International agreements
Canadian interests
Self-support
Humanitarian reasons
Jobs that do not need a work permit
Permanent resident applicants who have received a positive selection decision or approval in principle
Provincial nominees applying for an employer-specific work permit
Since you are a provincial nominee, you can apply an employer specific work permit with your CSQ.
