Hi,
My husband is a full time Master student (2 years) and expect to graduate by early October, however his study permit expires on 31st of October 15. I came to Canada on open work permit last November after our marriage in June. I got a full time job offer and currently working at a permanent position.
At this point we are facing a situation where my husband is not very definite about the final completion date of his study as he is currently doing his thesis for which final submission date is mid-September, however it might take a month or so to finalize the results and receive final transcripts. We are concerned whether we might have only 2-3 weeks’ time left to apply for postgraduate work permit before his current study permit expires and not have the 90 days’ time period to prepare for that application like what other students usually have. Also I can’t work until he has a job offer even though he applies for PSGWP.
At this situation we are thinking of extending his study permit for another term, his college is willing to do so. He will be applying for extending his stay using 5709 form. However our concern is, if I want to apply for extension of my open work permit does he need to be registered as a full time student during his extension or since it’s his final extended semester can he do part time for me to apply to extend my work permit?.
Which form do I have to fill to extend my work permit? If 5910, which option should I choose initial work permit/permit with same employer/permit with another employer/temporary resident permit? Then in question 6, regarding intended work in Canada, do I have to mention about the current employer details and provide them my offer letter?
Thank you
