ive lost my status for I was not able to extend my work permit before it expired for I was waiting for my renewed passport. I'll be applying for restoration of status soon my new passport arrived. Does it need new LMO to process? I'm under LCP with the same employer. Please if anyone knows would be a great help. Thanks.

please dont panic.

yes you can apply for restoration for you status. I dont think you need new lmo since you are with the same employer. just send all the documents eg. new passport ( you can send old canceled passport copy too), old work permit, contract signed and updated which means you and your employer sign with the new date and all other required document and a cover letter why you lost your status and on what basis you want to restore your status explaining detailed situation. I think you should be good. But you cannot work until you get your new work permit.

I have a question can someone on open work permit can work as caregiver with no prior experience or any course certificate. If yes then what are the requirements because the open work permit is set to expire in sept 2015

It is hard.
since they reform the caregiver program you have to have prior experience and certification. and you have to go through lmo. If you have open wp why would you choose contract? Just renew ur open wp if you are still with the same employer just get the employment letter and apply for the renewal.

The work permit cannot be renewed without an LMIA and I heard in order to get caregiver work permit applicant must have either an one year experience or 6 months certification. Let say if my friend start working as caregiver then would she be able to get a work permit under caregiver?

Hello,

I have a friend who's work permit will expire on March 2015. She's supposed to get a 3 year work permit based on her LMO but CIC only gave one year work permit based on her passport expiration date.

My question is: Could she renew her work permit using the old LMO that she used before?

Please advise.
