How old is your father and how did he find this employment? It looks like he is doing basic administrative tasks so it is shocking that he got approved for an LMIA given the amount of citizens, PRs and WP holders looking for employment. Does a friend or family member own or work at the company? Getting a WP isn’t guaranteed in these situations since it doesn’t make a lot of sense for an older person to get a WP when Canada is trying to attract young people and there are a lot of people looking for general administration jobs. If skills needed were specialized then you could justify offering a job to someone close to retirement. If his ties are very strong to Canada and has minimal family in his home country, no job in his home country, if the economy is not doing well in his home country there can be concerns that he will not return home after the WP expires, he had already applied for a supervisa so declared desire to spend significant time visiting Canada could all be reasons that WP could still be denied. Had he been working a similar job in his home country and when did that end? As already said if the father has the funds to show he can support the child and has a valid work permit the child should be able to get a study permit for the length of the WP. If his mother is alive she will have to give permission for him to leave their home country and go to Canada. Once he graduates high school he may struggle to get a study permit to attend college or university because he will have very strong ties to Canada and minimal ties to his home country. A father having a WP in Canada when the child wants to go to college or university can have a negative impact on an application because you have to show that you will be returning to your home country after your studies and you have strong ties to your home country to get approved. The father will struggle to get PR especially within a short amount of time so even if he is able to get a WP for the next 2 years that does not guarantee a future in Canada. Would suggest talking to an immigration lawyer about your longterm immigration goals not just short term goals. It is incredible difficult to get PR even with job experience if over 40 especially in such a competitive environment. The father isn’t working in a field where he would qualify for PNP for example if he worked as a nurse for example. A general administrative role will not help you immigrate via PNP.
