(Sorry, completely missed your bit about being eligible for a NAFTA work permit.) You should definitely go for it, check the box for "change you conditions" on the form, and then if the applicaiton is still in process when your current permit expires, you will ikely be considered on "implied...

Canuck, you're in a tricky situation. PGWP's cannot be extended. If your job is eligible for a regular (closed) work permit, however, you could apply to change your status. For this, you would need to get an LMO, though.

Thanks so much! I don't know why I've let myself worry so much about this. now I just need to wait out this mail strike, I guess. :)

Hi lovely: Here's the quote from e-CAS: We received X's application for permanent residence on September 10, 2010. We started processing X's application on October 29, 2010 *(they didn't really start processing at this time, but it is when they added the OWP to the package)* Medical...

Here's the situation: We sent in a PR applicaation (spousal sponsorship) for my hsuband in early September, along with an application to extend his existing work permit. Given that the existing prmit was an open permit, would implied status (once his current permit expires in a few weeks)...

My husband and I are both in Canada - he's ona post-graduation work permit that expires later in the fall, I was born here. We sent in the whole package for his permanent residence application uner the "Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class" (by express-post, so I know it was delivered...
