Hi,

Even if you apply for 2 years, the officer only will give you one more year of extension. So, it's up to you to apply for 1 or 2 year, but you only will receive 1 year.

Good luck

well, i mentioned above that i have managerial position noc 0631, as per cic website, it say that 0,A categories are exempt from four years limit.

Please give me your opinion.

Hi,

As I explained, you can apply for that, if the officer accept to give you longer time on your WP, that would be the best and if not, they will give you what ever has remained from your work permit period limitation.

Good luck

You can apply for two years and you can get it approved as you are not subject to the four year limit. It will depend on the LMIA. If the LMIa is for 2 years, then you will get a two years work permit.
