Hi, I came to canada on an open work permit from USIT in Ireland.
Before it expired I enquired about how I may extend, renew or get a new permit.
I called canada immigration helpline to ask for advice. I told them there was a note on my visa that it could not be extended and what were my best options. They told me 3 times (three different agents) between november and March wen i sent off form that all I would need to do would be to send off a work permit form. I questioned this to confirm if I needed an LMO, and explained that while my work were happy to give me a letter saying i had a job with them they would not fill out an LMO aplication for me. I was told by canada immigration that I wouldnt need one and just to send off the form. So I sent the form off and got a refusal back. I have 90 day sfrom 14april to resubmit. I have been trying to find the best options and just keep hitting brick walls.
I have just turned 27 years old. I have a degree in psychology and am looking to get into HR, which I know is a protected profession at the moment in canada. however while my degree would've allowed me to get into HR back home an added qualification is required in canada. I was unable to do this qualification to date due to the fact my visa does not allow any full time education and any part-time or correspondence courses at the time were too expensive. They have since come down in price and I have noted one or two which would give me the qualification I need. However unless I can stay in Canada I cannot do the courses as they start in September.
I do not wish to return home as there is simply no employment at the moment, particularly in the part of the country I would be living, they have just closed one of their major employers. If I were to return I would end up having to seek social assisstance which I am deperately trying to avoid, I had to do it for a year after I left university and was applying to come to canada and it is not an experiance I wish to repeat especially not for the period of time i would doubtlessly have to do so, and it would certainly be a lot longer than a year.
I want to get into the industry of HR, I wanted to do this for many years. I am eager to do the course required and want to be able to support myself. I have never broken any laws and I pay my taxes. I just need help proving I would be worth allowing to stay in canada.
Can you help????
>basically is there a way I can get a visa for a year which would give me the experiance required for experiance class.
>can friends sponsor me and if so wot is required- I am living with 2 friends from univerity who are applying for their landed immigrancey and we have become extremely close with our landlords and neighbours who may also be willing to sponsor.
>or is there a way I can appeal in person and be evaluated by an immigration officer that way.
