hi
hire a good lawyer there and he will help you out. or it will be very tough for you to overstay on student visa. in canada, no one is going to deport you, because it is a humanitarian country, but why take chances.
if u stay illegally after your pgwp expires, that could be a bad remark on your immigration file.

Hi Shikari,

You will be on “implied status” according to Overseas Processing Manual Chapter 11, Section 23.6.
It indicates the following:
“A temporary resident must apply to extend their period of authorized stay before it ends. If they have done so, their period of authorized stay as a temporary resident is extended by law until a decision is made (R. 183(5)). The person is considered to have “implied status” as a temporary resident during that
period.

If a temporary resident applies for a renewal of their work or study permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, R. 186(u) and R. 189 (the right to continue working or studying under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal) apply only as long as the person remains in Canada.


A temporary resident with implied status who has left Canada may be allowed to re-enter Canada as a temporary resident, pending a decision on the renewal of their application to study or work in Canada, provided they are temporary resident visa exempt as per R. 190 or on a multiple entry visa. They may not resume work or study in Canada until their application for renewal has been granted. For those not able to resume work, they must satisfy the Port of Entry officer that they have sufficient means of support. Alternatively, they may be allowed to apply for a new work or study permit at the Port of Entry, provided they have a right to do so under the Regulations.

Hope it answers to your question.

After your pgwp expires, which is an open work permit, your employer needs to apply for labour market opinion, with LMO then you can apply to extend your status which will give you a closed work permit, meaning you will not be allowed to work anywhere else.
To get LMO your employer will need to advertise the position first, for 2 weeks on jobbank, and also on local newspapers. You can find the rest of the instructions on HRSDC website. This process may take up to 3-4 months including the advertising period. If LMO is refused, and if you have applied for PR with arranged employment, losing your work permit and your job means your application will no longer be valid, so you need to get LMO.
The PR application process -with arranged employment- was supposed to take less than a year, but right now, for my case it's been 2 years almost, since I applied. I had LMO, had to renew it recently.LMO is given for 2 years usually, so if you can get it you will be good.
After LMO, you can get your work permit, which will be for 2 years, then you can apply for multiple entry visa, and go to India and come back if you want.

Are you serious BURCU....................

the link you gave says the same thing, if you are under post-grad work permit program u can work up to 3 years, yess that's true. if u study for 1 year you get 1 year wp, if you study 2 years you get 3 years work permit. If you studied 1 year and got a 1 year work permit, after it expires you can not extend your post-grad wp anymore, you need LMO for a new type of work permit, since post-grad work permit is a once in a lifetime type opportunity, even if u study again you can not get a post-grad work permit again, therefore you can not extend it as well.

You still didn't read what i want you to read

Please see thay said if a person on a PGWP then employer dont need to show reacritment efforts to get positive LMO, he just has to tick on the columnwhich said "intended to make him permanent" so how could you say that it is difficult to get positive LMO, as of now i am in purchasing industry so it is dificult to get positive LMO if i get job in purchasing or Admin??
