hello everyone,
I am French citizen living in Alberta, I have been living in Alberta since early 2010 with several closed workpermits all for the same company,
then at the end of 2012 I got married with a canadian-Citizen (my then closed work-permit was and is still valid until 01/Nov/14), so then we sent our application forms including open-work-permit application form, in 17 June 2013,
then in November 2013 I unfortunately got fired from my company-closed-workpermit (no reason given), and I am as of today then still waiting sitting on a chair doing nothing at home, waiting for my open work-permit
The only answer that we got was that they were transferring our files from vegreville to edmonton-office and that was 18 February 2014,
with the cost of life all savings are then now gone because of no income at all (we preferred to not apply for EI as we thought somehow, true or not, it might affect our PR application), and now the situation is getting even harsher since we are expecting our first child for the month of September........... my Canadian Wife will stop working soon, and her income will be cut by half..........
As well as formally updating authorities with our situation of pregnancy, we called immigration several times but we are always told 'wait', and we also went to see MP who was told by authorities 'call back in October'...
What else could ever possibly do?......
Situation is very strange in fact, I think I understood that usually people come to canada to send money to their families in overseas' countries, but in our situation "I" would have to leave canada to work in my own country, to be able to sustain my Canadian Family................ ???
