Subject: Spousal Sponsorship/work permit extension/open wor
  Hello guys,

Hope someone can help me with my question.

I came to Canada with a 1 year work and holiday visa and lived with my Canadian boyfriend, who I met a year before on a visit. My work visa expires on 02 June 2010 and we are getting married on 11 April 2010. I will apply for pr as soon as we get the marriage certificate. My question is how I can extend my work visa, so that I can work while we wait for pr status. I am currently without a job as the department of HSBC where I worked for 7 months got closed and I haven´t found anything new due to the expiry of my work visa.

I called a CIC representative and that girl told me that I can apply for an "open work permit" together with the sponsorship application as long as it is 30 days before my visa expires. That will be very tight, but anyways, after searching the internet I´m not sure if I´m eligible for this kind of visa. And as I understand I can only extend my work visa if I have a job or job offer with an HRSDC confirmation, right?

So any suggestions what I should do or if the CIC representative is right?

Thanks for your help,

Steffi

If you apply for PR through CPC-Vegreville and the in-land process you will be eligible for a work permit after the first stage approval. You do not need the LMO or a job offer to apply for THAT work permit. You will use IMM1249 along with the PR application and it can be viewed as an application for extension of your work permit. It will allow you to continue to work under the same conditions until your receive a decision on the new work permit application.
