overstay and workpermit

[mysteryocean]

hello friends,
                  i am close to get SINP nomination and planning to apply for work permit based on that.  now my  real problem is Overstay in canada.  i entered canada as a student, completed my Bcom, and  got a job,  i applied for work permit, which i got.  the problem is i overstayed  9 months  after my work permit expired. i left canada by myself,  there was no deportation or  any   legal notice.  now i am in india,  and applied for SINP. 

                  Do you think my previous overstay  will affect my work permit application?  since its  immigration related  work permit  means i am supposed to stay in canada. your reply would help me a lot

thanks

It shouldn't.  Your SINP acceptance is already showing an intent to become a permanent resident.  The VO assessing should not allow the overstay to affect the decision because you are intending to become a permanent resident by going through a provincial nominee program and applying for a work permit based on that.  It's not the same as applying with an LMO.

No, that's the difference.  The SINP shows that you DO want to live in Canada permanently and that's ok.  You no longer have to prove that you don't.
