Which add should I send my application for extending post-grad work permit to?

Hi

i've heard that u have to first get the approval from HRDC before extending ur post graduation work permit,mine permit is expiring in the end of this dec as i got only 1 year permit with 1 year masters. Will u pleae guide me for that. What are the chances? isnt it better to apply for a study permit instead.

Thanks

extension can come under two categories.
1. lets say that you are eligible for a 1 or 3 yr post grad work permit but your passport expires before you could avail the full time period of work permit, then the visa officer will issue upto the passport validity date and will leave a comment on the permit paper "issued to the validity of passport". after you get your new passport, you can automatically apply for an extension for the remainder period. here u dont need am HSRDC approval, as it is simple logic that your work permit is truncated, one for the old passport and the remainder time for the new passport.

2. however if you are planning to stay beyond the full tenure of the work permit, then you must get an HSRDC opinion. this was the norm even before this post grad work permit came into force. i remember when the old system was in place, people who wanted to continue after their initial employer sponsored work permit expired had to reapply but must get an opinion. however it was easy then to extend if the employer vouches for you strongly and the HSRDC do know that after a yr of time in a company you would be a bit irreplaceable.

so the point is if your POST GRAD WORK PERMIT expired because of an early expiry of the old passport then its extension without approval. if the work permit has been used to its fullest validity, then the extension is beyond the scope of POST GRAD WORK PERMIT and needs to have an opinion for extension.

well you could rush to the closest college/university and ask for admission into a certificate or 1 yr program, starting jan 2010. with the offer letter apply for study permit. once you have applied for one, you are legally on a implied status that would make you stay in canada till a decision has been made.
hurry up and talk to a college or univ. u have exactly a week or so for many colleges to close their intake for jan. eventhough u r an international candidate, u r here and ur canadian transcripts r here. so admission is a very real possibility. remember only cert or 1 yr prog. its easy to get an offer letter from a college than a univ. and if at all they culd give u only for spring, just grab it and apply. hope this helps.
