Hi there,
Currently I live in Canada, I have a temporary work permit valid until the end of 2012, was renewed to me for the second time after my refugee claim was given a negative decisions and my removal order was temporary suspended due the security situation in my home country, recently my employer offered to help by giving me a permanent job with higher pay (company treasurer) while I am basically running the company and only report to him weekly, instead of annual contract ends by the expiry date of my work permit that I have to renew every year. which happened to have no problem with that the past three years.
My questions are: If I left Canada to visit my family (Wife & Son) in Egypt (Not my Home country) for a short time like week or two, which I haven't seen them for three years since I came to Canada and claimed refugee protection,
1.will I need to obtain a new work permit?
2.or only obtain Visa to come back to Canada to start my new job with signed contract from my employer to backup my story?
3.or will I be admissible at all?
4.Is it possible that I apply for temporary Visa while I'm still in Canada to avoid the processing time and I wont loose the opportunity is given to me now?
One of the reasons that I want to leave and come back is to change my status from (Unknown or Limbo "I don't really know what my status is now"), basically Im band from everything, I cant bring my family because I don't have status in Canada, to a temporary worker so I can apply for Federal skilled worker later, while I also can't do that now due to my situation even when I have 2 and half years Canadian experience
I made the assumption according to the temporary worker requirements listed on CIC website, basically they need work permit, and I have that so I assume I only need Visa, Im afraid to contact CIC while a friend of mine was deported once he applied to change his status which is the exact same of mine, I personally call it " Limbo Status"
Ill gratefully appreciate any opinion or personal experience
