Hi! I am currently on an IEC 2 year working holiday visa which runs out Jan 2020 and I want to apply for Permanent Residency. I believe that the only PR streams I would be eligible for are express entry or provincial nomination. However you need 1 years continuous employment in Canada for express entry and 9 months for provincial nomination. I won't have 9 months worth until Feb 2020 - the month after my current visa runs out. Apparently it is not possible to extend the IEC visa, so I am looking for a temporary working visa which will enable me to continue living and working in Canada until I can apply for PR in Feb. The only temp working visa I can find on Canada.ca says I can only apply for it AFTER putting in my application for PR. But I need cover for the month between my IEC running out (Jan) and me having racked up enough work exp (Feb) to make me eligible to apply for PR. Has anybody been in a similar situation or know of a temp working visa I can apply for?
