Hello there,

I have a question concerning the progress of renewing my open work permit. It would be awesome if you could help me with that!
My situation: After I have studied in Canada I got an open work permit in Nov2014 - which is valid up until Nov2017.

In November 2014 I returned back to Europe for one year and then came back in Nov 2015 with my partner.
In Dec2015 I started working full time for a company - where I still have a valid contract until Sep.2017.
My partner currently has an LMIA and a valid work permit until Nov 2018 - which her employer got for her.

We live together for several years now. Could any one provide me with a guideline of how I could
renew my work permit as well ? I would love to stay her with her until Nov 2018.

I could not find the right topic for my exact situation.
Your help is very appreciated! Thank you

Cheers,
Marvin

For clarity what skill classification is your partners job NOC 0,A or B ? Assuming you are on a PGWP which of course in itself cannot be extended.

Thank you for your reply Bs65!

She falls under Skill Level B — technical jobs and skilled trade.
The same is true for me.
