clarification and inquiry

[markus]

good day to all,

iam an applicant for permanent resident under federal class (skilled worker) for about 2 years now, my papers are under process from manila.... now i have an employer from canada thru an employment agency here in manila, he told me that i will have my working visa in about 2 months, and he told me that my visa will be a family status, meaning i can get my family after sometime..... my question is will this affect my federal application? what would happen to my application, and should i pursue the working visa in order to get to canada at once, my file number has been mine for only 2 years, so i have to wait at least 2 or 3 more years to get an embassy response and my patience is fading due to economical reasons....

thanks for any suggetstion and reply, good luck to all of us

1. You can go ahead and put in your application for a temporary work permit; however, depending on your job type, your employer might have to file an LMO (Labor Market Opinion) with HRSDC (Human Resources and Social Development Canada).

2. No, this will not affect your Federal Skilled Worker Application. In fact, you don’t need to withdraw your Skilled Worker Application. It might be in your best interest to continue with the process of Skilled Worker Immigration. It may take a while but it is not an infinite process – it does come to an end at some point in time.

3. You can have two applications with CIC, as long as they are for separate Visa types. The one will not affect the other; you just have to satisfy the requirements that will enable you to obtain the visas.

4. After you have been successful with the work permit process, and you are actually and physically in Canada working at your new job, then you can inform CIC about your address change so that CIC will be able to reach you with regard to your Skilled Worker Application.

5. Make sure there is someone reliable in Manila that will be able to forward any mail to you when you are successfully in Canada working, just in case CIC sent you important information about your other application while you were on the move to Canada to work.

6. A work permit for you does not grant automatic temporary resident visas (TRVs) for members of your family. Each member of your family MUST meet the requirements in obtaining individual TRVs. See the following CIC link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/work/work-faq06.asp

7. The TRVs for your family members will also depend on the yearly income that you’ll earn at your job in Canada and can include any income-producing asset that you may have in Manila. Here is a link on TRVs, follow the other links too for more information: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp

Your family can always join you hassle-free in Canada when the Skilled Worker Application becomes successful.

Do the calculation from your AOR (Acknowledgment of Receipt) after application was submitted, to the number of months for the maximum rate of percentage at which the process is usually finalized for your location, in order for you to see how long it would take to get the Confirmation of PR Visa. So, your best bet is to check the following link on processing times for your location:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/02a-skilled-fed.asp

It just might be that your application may not fall under the maximum time frame in which the highest number of cases were finalized - there are no guarantees; these are estimates as the application process depends on a lot of factors.

Usually, between the early stages and mid-way, the immigration officer handling your case might ask for more supporting documents to back up your education and /or work experience, such as taking the IELTS exam for English proficiency.

As a guide, if you have not been asked to do the medical exam, and /or they have not asked for police certificate(s), then you have to wait it out some more, because the stage when you do the medical exam is towards the final stage in the process, which is probably between the last 6 to 9 months before they issue the PR visa.
