Renewal of WP same employer, incorrect spelling LMO, WP has expired.

[Become1]

Hi!

I submitted my LMO together with other documents online. My current
Employer renewed my contract. My work permit is now expired and I haven't recieved my new work permit yet. Now, I realized that my last name was incorrectly spelled so my employer requested to correct my last name.

Question is : what is my status? would the incorrect spelling of my last name be a problem? Even if its a renewal under a the same company?

I am still working on the same company. My employer says its okay to come to work.

Please help! Anyone knowledgeable about my situation! Thank you in advance!

If you applied to renew your work permit before your old work permit expired, then you are on implied status (and can keep working) until you have a decision from CIC.

Thank you!

Follow up question please, now that I'm on an "implied status" the company I am working for is slowing down this winter and going to work would be 3 days a week. My employer is very open minded to allow us to look for another job (even if they renewed us).

I found a new job with an open LMO. Can I apply that LMO? if so, what will happen and what application should I submit?

What's the best thing to do please? Thank you!
