I am struggling to find a definitive answer to this:
I am currently working in Canada on the working holiday visa (IEC) which will expire in May 2015. Now that Express Entry has kicked in, I am struggling to find any dialogue from the CIC or immigration experts about candidates in Non-LMIA work permits and their options to remain and work in Canada while their applications are being processed (and permits have subsequently expired). This is/was covered by the BOWP however as stated above, however I have not found anything to confirm that it will still be available under the Express Entry system.
If still available, how would eligibility be determined? I'm assuming from an ITA? (Previously AOR for CEC);
If not available anymore, then this appears to be a gross oversight by the CIC and puts candidates in this bracket under a huge disadvantage.
