Not sure if anyone can help me here but I am putting this out there as I am running out of time!

I applied for work permit in August last year and submitted the PNP certificate. Now, after 5 months waiting, when I called CIC call centre, they said from my file notes, I am requested to submit new PNP certificate as it has expired.

OPNP said they don't extend certificates and they can't do anything.

This seems unjust and unfair, since when I submitted the cert it was valid. Certs are valid only 6 mths, and according to OPNP, it is not renewable. How can CIC not know that and request something so unreasonable???!!! Especially after they sat on the application for 5 months?? How can the cert not be expired. And now I am penalized for that??

The icing on the cake is that they have not sent me any request in writing - email or via mail. ZERO communications!

Any advice anyone?? I need to submit by this Friday 13th! In 2 days. And I found this out 3 days ago. Please help me somebody!

Please read this CIC guideline
It is not necessary that the application for permanent residence of the foreign national has been received by CIC for the work permit to be issued, unless the nomination is expired. In that case, a copy of the acknowledgement letter confirming that CIC received a PNP permanent residence application should be provided with the work permit application. Officers may wish to verify the PNP application in the Global Case Management System (GCMS) to ensure that the nomination has not been withdrawn by the province or that no adverse information is found on the file.

I am BC PNP holder and i have valid job offer..I have applied restoration on Jan 8,2015 and waiting for that so can you e mail me your cell phone on my email address: arp.pharmacy@gmail.com so we can discuss about your situation and solution..

Thank you for replying!

I have already received AOR, but at the time of applying for work permit (5 months ago), I did not have the AOR yet. I have now sent the AOR via email, letter. Let's hope they receive it and respond. There's is no problem with my nomination and has not been withdrawn in any way. Not sure what is the HUGE BLOODY ISSUE! It is a very straight forward application for work permit supported by PNP support work permit letter. SIGH!

Thanks.
