I spoke with a CIC call center agent earlier, asking them to explain how the above statement applies. They said, "if applying to extend an IEC visa or apply for your second IEC visa (if applicable to your originating country), you will NOT have implied status to continue working while this IEC...

I find it odd that the post above with the copy from CIC can't be found anywhere else on google aside from in this forum (and one other forum). If this is the law, then surely you would be able to find it somewhere when doing a google search? This here you find directly on the CIC website...

Thank you both for your replies. Our relationship does meet the definition of common law. But because IEC work permit doesn't benefit from implied status, this is not an option for me. Q1. Do I also have the option of a applying through PNP? If so, will I be able to continue working after my...

Intention: What are the ways in which I can continue to work in BC with my current employer after my IEC OWP expires? Situation: My visa expires in mid March 2014. My NOC id is 1123. I have a girlfriend, and she is eligible to sponsor me My company would fight to keep me Thanks

BC. Thanks

1. I work for a large Canadian e-commerce company, and am a social media and vendor specialist (work with suppliers to achieve mutual goals). 2. I have a related business degree that I obtained back home, majoring in marketing and advertising, and I have approx 3 years of work experience. Is my...

Thanks so much for your reply. Would they know whether I would fall under one of these categories though? Why did you choose these two categories? Is it because there is a chance I could fall under one of these? Surely this is something only CIC would know... I'm in BC. I'm guessing I am...

Hi - this is quite possibly the most stressful time in my life, so I thank all who can give me any advice or help very, very much. I am on a working visa (IEC) that expires in March. I have a full time job, which i love and don't want to leave at all costs. I work for a large Canadian...

This is the OP, logged in under a different login name. Very helpful but terrible news... So I guess my only other way to stay and work is to have my company sponsor me... I work in marketing (I look after the NZ market since that is where I am from). Do you think my company would be able to...

If I don't leave and return, then I won't get caught that way... Hmmm If I don't plan on living here and just want to work here for another year and then leave, I guess the risk may not be all that bad. STRESS!

I Apologize for sounding rude and abrupt. I didn't mean anything by it, and I will choose my words more carefully on here. Thank you again for your help

Not true according to the agent I spoke to from CIC. They said they don't recommend leaving the country, but you can do so at your own risk. It is up to border security to decide whether they let you in again. They may not let you in due to dual intentions: applications for both PR and OWP.

What are the risks if this is in fact illegal as you say? Does it only affect me getting visas in Canada and doesn't affect me outside of Canada? And what are the main ways you can be caught? If you leave the country for whatever reason and then return, I presume you might get caught then...

Post has been edited to include a question: In my circumstance, I'm not too concerned about my permanent residency.There is a good possibility I will have returned home before my PR application is processed. I just want to extend my stay here and work non-stop for the duration of my stay...

In my circumstance, I'm not too concerned about my permanent residency.There is a good possibility I will have returned home before my PR application is processed. I just want to extend my stay here and work non-stop for the duration of my stay. Regarding the TV episode, correct me if I'm...

I spoke to an agent yet again (obviously I'm wanting to get to the bottom of this, so I don't do anything illegal). This agent at first said I cannot; however, after he consulted his resources he said I am able to continue working - yet another contradiction. I asked him if he was 100% certain...

I actually referred to the same sentence when speaking to an agent, and they said the part in bold below means I can work, because I'm not applying for an extension of the same program. I'm applying for a different open work permit. * Participants in international youth exchange programs (e.g...

I just spoke on the phone to Citizen and Immigration Canada about this. They are saying that you are incorrect and that as long as I apply for an open work permit at the time I apply for my permanent residency, I can continue to work under implied status. They said it doesn't matter what visa...

This is terrible news. I have a great job and will have to quit. Would you recommend I try for company sponsorship then? What are my chances? My hiring manager would like to keep me on.

Thank you all for your replies. It seems we have conflicting answers though. :( Here is something I found online. Could someone tell me what you think this means? It's quite confusing to me... If a spouse or common-law partner is sponsored from inside Canada, they can apply for an open work...
