Hi all,
My husband has an open work permit issued pursuant to IEC working holiday. I have a spousal open work permit. We are both working in Quebec now. We have applied for CSQ, expecting to receive our CSQ during 1st quarter of 2021. Our open work permits will expire in August 2021. To keep some flexibility with employment options, we would like to keep the open work permit as long as possible. Your advise or experience in this matter is much appreciated:
1. can we extend the IEC working holiday - open work permit? If yes, how should we go about it?
2. My employer and I are happy to continue our working relationship. When i received the CSQ, can my employer complete the employer portal, so that i can apply for a closed work permit? Does it matter if i apply for this closed work permit before or after submitting my PR application?
Thanks in advance!
