Hello to you all.....

i found a family in Canada that wants to hire me as a live in caregiver. They apply for a LMO next week. I am now at the moment on visitor visa in Canada, i applied for visa extension and probly i will be on implied status the next 2 ?? month (i dont know the timeline for visa extension applications), if my extension will be approved i can stay till next year april. I was reading now a lot on this great forum and in some posts i could read, that you can apply at the boarder for a work permit ??

My question is, if my employer gets a positive LMO must i go back to Austria (my homecountry) and reentry Canada or can i apply for it at the Boarder WHEN i am still in Canada ? Or should i send everything per mail during my stay in Canada ?

and maybe anyone knows the timeline for visa-extension-application ? i sended it per canada-mail, NOT online.

Thank you kindly for all your great help and maybe you have any advice to this question too ?

You cannot apply for an LCP work permit at the border. You must apply through your home country's visa office.
