Work permit from inside Canada

[Dennistooserko]

I am a foreign worker, currently resident of Canada on a Visitor visa. I want to apply for work permit from inside Canada, but my LMIA will not be ready before 31st of August 2021. Do you think it is legal to apply for work permit and claim to be outside Canada while you are actually inside Canada. Is it the case of 1) illegal misinformation or 2) legally depriving your self from some advantages designed for applicants inside Canada?

Thanks in advance for you help

Hello, my advice is to not risk it, you should wait for the LMIA application instead.
God Bless!

Hi,
my sister came in canada as visitor visa and she will apply for work permit and she has LMIA from her employer. What specific IMM form that she need to fillout and does she need to apply for visa extension? She came here as visitor last June 2021 and her six month of stay is until December 2021.

Does she also need to include in her application the reference letter from previous employees?

Please advise. thank you.
