Work Permit Refuse TR Expired

[Teatime18]

Hi there. My temporary residence expired as of last week and my open WP application got refused. Can my employer terminate me? The letter also suggests that prospective employer is responsible for obtaining LMIA. What does this mean? If my current employer wants to terminate me do they have a reason?

How are you eligible for OWP?

In what visa did you come to Canada on? So you came to Canada on a LMIA - closed permit? If you don’t have a TRV or work permit, you have no status in Canada. You need a LMIA from your employer to apply for a work permit. If you have no work permit being terminated is moot since you can’t work without a work permit.
