Hi all,
I found myself in a very tight spot and I am really in need of a professional advice.
I do not know how to proceed further.
Here is my situation(explained as short as possible):
14.03.2012. I came to Canada with Work - holiday visa.I worked as Early Childhood Educator for 1 year. My employer tried to get LMO but unsuccessfully.
04.03.2013. I sent application to extend my work - holiday permit. Goal was to gain more "legal" time in Canada and to get Implied status while I look for new job offer with LMO.
02.07.2013. Application to extend work - holiday visa was refused. I received letter from CIC stating that I have 90 days to resolve my situation or Canada or leave the country.
24.09.2013. 1 week before expiry of above mentioned 90 days I applied for a tourist visa. Unfortunately I made a mistake here and did not pay extra $200 to Restore my status.
19.11.2013. Finally I found a job and received LMO as Live-in Caregiver. I made a border trip, but I did not receive work permit because I did not know that Live-in Caregiver work permits can not be issued at the port of entry. I did not have medicals done and they found out I worked with children when my work - holiday permit stated I am not allowed to. That was again my mistake which I really did not realize. I was allowed to came back to Canada and wait for results of tourist visa application.
13.12.2013. Tourist visa was refused. I bought a plane ticket to leave Canada.
08.01. 2014. I left Canada.
28.01.2014. I sent Live-in Caregiver application to local embassy with detailed explanation of whole this mess.
10.03.2014. My Live-in Caregiver application was refused. Reason was:
"You have not respected the conditions of your last work permit which clearly stated: NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN CHILD CARE."
I am aware that I made a mistake, but I really want to go back to Canada and work there.
I really do not know what else i can do to improve my situation.
I am asking for advice of seniors on this forum. What do I do now?
I have read about Authorization to return to Canada application...can this help me? Is that the way to go?
Should I ask for GCMS notes to see what exactly is written down in my immigration file?
I am lost, please help.
Regards, Maja
